Born in Kyoto in 1971. After studying at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Research (ceramics course) and the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramic Technical College, she apprenticed under ceramic artist Yasuhiro Sakurai. In 2001 she established her own kiln in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto. From 2003 onward she has continued making pottery alongside her husband, ceramic artist Kazuhito Azuma. Her work centers on black-glaze and white-porcelain series, characterized by graceful curves and refined forms—including petal-edged "rinka" designs inspired by flowers.
