Born in Sakuho-machi, Minami-Saku District, Nagano Prefecture. After completing the program at the Tochigi Ceramics Technology Support Center in 2016, he worked at a kiln in Mashiko before establishing his own studio there in 2018. He is deeply committed to Mashiko's native clay — sometimes heading into the mountains to dig it himself — and creates wheel-thrown vessels primarily with ash glazes made from the ashes of local plants, levigated by hand. In recent years he has also embraced wood-firing, delivering quietly warm works shaped by the forces of nature and flame.
