Born in Ehime in 1979. After completing the Bizen Ceramics Center program and training in Bizen and Shigaraki, he established his own kiln in Izumo, Shimane in 2013. He practices as a Buddhist temple priest while also dedicating himself to ceramics. His works employ a technique called tōtai shikki, in which lacquer is applied to ceramic pieces, silver leaf is affixed, and the whole is then fired. He has received the Runner-up Prize at the 39th Tanabe Museum of Art Grand Prix Exhibition "Chanoyu no Zōkei" and the TOKI Oribe Grand Prize at the 14th Contemporary Tea Ceramics Exhibition.
