Born in Okayama City in 1970. After studying at Nagasaki University's Faculty of Fisheries and working at Tsukiji Market, he taught himself ceramics and transitioned to life as an artist. He is currently based in Tomisato City, Chiba Prefecture. Using the coiling technique—building up ropes of clay on a hand-turned wheel—he specializes in Oribe glaze, iron glaze, and blue-hakeme (brush-slip) styles. His work is characterized by a rustic, earthy quality and bold contrasts, and he aims to create vessels that enhance the food served in them.
