A ceramicist based in Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture. Starting from the practice of tracing the contours and surfaces of natural stones, the artist transforms those tactile memories into hand-built forms. Each piece emerges through a dialogue with the plasticity of clay, quietly embodying the laws of nature, the artist's own bodily sensations, and a gaze turned toward the cycles and renewal of life. Guided by a personal philosophy that sees the contour as "the smallest unit through which existence touches the world," the work carries a compelling sense of physical presence.
