Born in Shigaraki, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture in 1979. Completed the large-wheel throwing course at the Shigaraki Ceramic Industry Technical Testing Center in 1998, and was certified as a Traditional Craftsman of Shigaraki Ware in 2013. He continues to create pottery at "古仙堂," a kiln that has been in his family since his great-grandfather's generation, while also pursuing an independent artistic practice. His work is characterized by fluid curves and dynamic forms, and he crafts expressive pieces in a range of glazes — including the translucent blue known as "Fujiwara Blue," as well as white and black.
