Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1976. After graduating from the Kyoto School of Traditional Crafts, he trained at the Hagi ware kiln Matsuno Ryokuei-gama in Yamaguchi Prefecture. He began making pottery in Sapporo in 2004, later moving to Otaru and then Akita, and is now based in Yoichi District, Hokkaido. His signature work, "Hibi Kohiki," uses Hokkaido clay and wood ash from local fruit trees as glaze. Carrying on the age-old kohiki tradition, he continues to produce rustic yet powerful vessels with a distinctive character created by the crackle patterns that form during firing.
