Aspiring to be a potter, in 1961 he became an apprentice to Kondo Yuzo at 18 years old, beginning his training. In addition, he began receiving guidance from Kamoda Shoji in 1966, receiving his first award at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition in 1967 (he was selected 3 concurrent times thereafter). In 1972, he was nominated as a regular member of the Japan Industrial Arts Association. However, after exhibiting at the Asahi Ceramics Exhibition that year, he stopped presenting his works at any public exhibitions, including even the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition. Since his first solo exhibition in 1974 at Nihonbashi Takashimaya in Tokyo, he has been presenting only solo exhibitions centered around Tokyo.
