To further his aspirations to become a full-fledged ceramics artist, he trained at the Aichi Ceramics Research Institute in 1965 and then, after working as an assistant at the Japan Ceramics Club, pursued further training in Tokoname, Utsunomiya, Imabari, Arita, and other locations. Built a kiln in Hachioji, Tokyo in 1971 that he called the Miyashiki kiln. Solo exhibitions held at Isetan, Daimaru, Kakito G, other venues. Works in Mishima-ware, white slipware, and brush-marked ceramics as well as white porcelain and Karatsu-ware.
