Born in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture in 1962. While preserving the Mino tradition that dates back to the Momoyama period, he expresses Shino ware with a modern sensibility, often creating three-dimensional Shino ware pieces with a rough and bold style.

His ceramic works feature beautiful curved lines and carefully carved foot rings, conveying a sense of delicate artistry. He has received numerous awards, including the Shoroku Prize for his teabowl at the Mino Ceramics Shoroku Prize Teabowl Exhibition (permanently preserved at the Gifu Prefectural Museum of Ceramics), the Chunichi Ceramics Prize at the Mino Ceramics Exhibition (for his beni-shino glazed flattened flask), the Mino Ceramics Kikyō Prize, the Jury's Special Prize at the Mino Ceramics Shoroku Prize Teabowl Exhibition, and the Mino Ceramics Ikusei Tomoko Prize. His works are also housed in the Sèvres Museum in France.
