Born in 1986 in Kochi prefecture, currently residing in Kyoto.
I graduated from Kyoto University of Education, Faculty of Education in 2008 with a degree in Art & Design and, in 2011, I graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts with a master's degree in Ceramics.

My works on themes such as the boundaries and traces of moments of shapes.
-What's important is patience and an awareness of how things are. Pushing with the tips of the fingers and rubbing with the palms of the hands. Looking at clay and glass melting, and attempting to discover the shape which is being formed. It begins with a handful of cl ay that is yet to be anything. The relationship between the creator and the clay is transformed by touching, seeing and feeling, expanding small amounts of space into seemingly large expanses of landscape.
In addition to ceramics, I also works on performance, and is at tracted to how the performing arts inspire us to directly feel the rela tionships between body, object and space. Now I join a hyper performance groupe “MuDA” as a production maneger and performer .
