Outline of activity
After graduating from the Department of Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tama Art University, Japan, I learned ceramic art at a ceramics technical school in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. After that, while working for a ceramic product manufacturing company (INAX Co., Ltd.), I have been making sculptural works using ceramic as the main material. My artist history includes many presentations at solo and group exhibitions, and winning prizes at famous competitions.
