From Oita Prefecture. Was initially active in the field of painting and exhibited watercolor paintings at the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition and Kofukai Art Association. Also held private exhibitions. Was attracted by the ceramic works by Picasso and started making ceramics in Mashiko around 1948 (possibly 1958 due to the unclear printing in the book). Works focus on hand-forming and ceramic sculptures. Held private exhibitions in the Daimaru in Tokyo and the Matsuya in Ginza.
