He often makes tableware for daily use, including sake cups and flower vases. His unique foreign sensibility, which is not found in Japanese people, makes his work very appealing. His cups are especially unique in shape. Recently, he says he was influenced by ancient Celtic pottery. He is actively involved in solo exhibitions and holds them all over Japan.
