Born in Yokohama in 1997. Raised in Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, he discovered ceramics in Los Angeles. Drawn to the depth of wood-fired kilns, he returned to Japan and studied Bizen ware at the Bizen Ceramics Center. Now based in Bizen, Okayama, he throws Bizen clay on the wheel and fires it in a wood-burning kiln without glaze, creating vessels and sculptural works that capture the expressive marks of flame and ash. He exhibits both in Japan and abroad through the Bizen-yaki Ikuto-kai exhibition and solo shows.
