Born in Osaka in 1972. Began making ceramics in Kobe in 1991, then relocated to Shigaraki in 2001 to pursue anagama-fired and unglazed stoneware in the Iga and Shigaraki traditions. He built his own anagama and raku kilns, and his repertoire spans Nanban unglazed ware, Seto black, and reproductions of Joseon-period Ido tea bowls and Kakino-heta tea bowls. From 2010, he has operated his studio "Hyakuen Seitousho" in Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, exploring local materials including white raku made from Awaji Island clay, while continuing to hold solo exhibitions across Japan.
