Born in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. After working as a graphic designer, he transitioned to ceramics in his mid-thirties. He learned wheel throwing at the Kasama City Ceramic Guidance Center in Ibaraki Prefecture, and after roughly four years of training that included glaze studies, he became independent in 2012. Since 2016 he has maintained a studio in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Using Kasama clay and a matte milky-white glaze of his own formulation, he creates everyday tableware adorned with delicate carved textures such as "sazanami" (ripple), "shinogi" (ridge), and "mentori" (faceting).
