While working as a fireman in the special rescue squad, he discovered the world of ceramics.
He built a fully underground anagama kiln in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture in 2021.
He works with native clay and stones dug from the mountain then uses wood to fire his pieces.
He carries on his creative practice centering on the production of ceramic works, intrigued by burning objects, the lights, sounds, and the way they disintegrate and collapse.  
His interests range from dance, contemporary esoteric ocultism, yoga, and tarot reading. He is also engaged in the practice and research of shamanism in the modern age through the intersection of a dancing body and the act of creation.
