Born in 1987 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. After completing the ceramics program at Aichi Prefectural Seto Ceramic High School, he apprenticed under Masanori Hatano. Working from his base in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, he has developed his own distinctive approach to hotarude — a technique in which pierced patterns in porcelain clay are filled with transparent glaze to allow light to pass through. His work is known for its dreamlike play of light, created by the soft blue of celadon glaze and the shadows cast by the carved patterns. He has received numerous awards, including the top prize in the porcelain category at the Meshi-wan Grand Prix Exhibition and the TOKI Oribe Grand Prize at the 16th Contemporary Ceramic Art Exhibition.
