Born in 1977 as the fourth generation of a pottery manufacturing family in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. He graduated from Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts, then completed the Aichi Prefectural Ceramics Advanced Technical College. In 2010, he built a kiln in Kamishina, Seto, and relocated to Okayama Prefecture in 2016, where he continues to work today. He combines wheel-throwing and mold techniques, and employs a distinctive method of saturating the crackle glaze with Japanese horse chestnut tannin after firing. Influenced by Seto's antique ceramics and Ofukei ware, he works primarily with crackle-glazed pieces with an aged appearance and black-glazed vessels.
