Biography
- 1976Born in Higasinari, Osaka
- 1999Graduated from Kinki University, Faculty of Economics
Worked at a private company during his 20s - 2006Studied under his father and tea kettle caster Seiichi
- 2013Selected for the 60th Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition for the first time
Style
The kettle for boiling water is known as “the master of the tea ceremony” and its form and shape have been constantly adapted over the centuries, giving rise to a great variety of types and designs. My aim is to pursue and capture the crystallization of utility and beauty that have been polished throughout the long history of the tea ceremony.
I also want people to experience the attractiveness and charm of metalcraft, and I am developing craftworks harmonizing with our daily life.
