Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1973, raised in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture. While studying at the University of Tsukuba, he trained under celadon artist Taku Ono, and after completing the wheel-throwing course at the Ibaraki Prefectural Industrial Technology Center's Ceramics Guidance Office, he built a kiln in Sano. Under the name "Ikkasho-yaki (Sano)," he fires exclusively with clay and stone gathered by hand within Sano City, using an anagama kiln packed with soil from the same mountain — a singular approach he has pursued throughout his career. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions, primarily in Tochigi and Gunma.
