Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1980 to a Japanese father and a Korean mother. He completed his graduate studies at Osaka University of Arts in 2006 and went independent in 2008. Drawing inspiration from ancient ritual objects such as Jōmon pottery and bronze vessels, he creates near-futuristic forms with metallic colors and shapes. His distinctive ceramic works weave together contemporary art, science fiction, and street culture, earning him recognition both in Japan and abroad.
