Born in Ehime Prefecture in 1989. After studying at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramic Technology College and the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture, he returned to his home region to take over as the fourth-generation head of Nagato Seitosho / Tosaiyo, a kiln in Tobe-cho, Ehime Prefecture — the heartland of Tobe ware. He digs raw stone from the Ehime earth himself, crushes it into clay, and throws it on the wheel. His work centers on white porcelain, celadon, and染付 (sometsuke) blue-and-white ware. He is also engaged in the investigation, research, and revival of the Kitagawake Kiln, considered the oldest kiln in Tobe.
