Born in Fukuoka in 1982. After a career as a professional musician, he moved to the United States in 2013. The following year, an encounter with the work of Isamu Noguchi led him to leave music behind. From 2015, he began studying sculpture under a professional sculptor while also teaching himself ceramics. He explores the fusion of the raw simplicity found in Jōmon pottery, Joseon dynasty ceramics, and ancient Greek sculpture with abstract expression, drawing further inspiration from calligraphy and letterforms as he pursues an original art that transcends race, culture, and history.
