Born on October 5, 1989, in Toyama, Japan. I pursued a major in cultural anthropology at university before working at a publishing company and an advertising agency. Currently, I work as a freelancer, creating works with the theme of "creating new phenomena through communication." In 2022, I formed the art unit "TODO" with Birudan Washi successor Takakuni Kawahara. Together, we explore new ways of inheriting installation art and crafts, working towards finding innovative ways to create new phenomena through communication.

Held a solo exhibition with the theme of "dots".
This work was created by having visitors draw dots
on Japanese paper that I made.
A wide variety of dots are connected,
and it means proof that I exist today.
This work imagines the spaces
in communication
between people, such as the spaces
between conversations,
the sense of distance, and the blank spaces.
I made this work by intuitively adjusting
the gaps that are created
when the washi paper overlaps.
A tea room has been created
from discarded vegetables.
These vegetables were obtained
from the Toyama City Public Local Wholesale Market
where large quantities of vegetables
that do not meet standards or have been damaged
are thrown away every day.
Launched a new business,
"Mirai Crafts Department," at Shinko Co., Ltd.,
which manufactures metal processing parts in Toyama, Japan.
Our mission is to create a community
that explores the possibilities of industry
and traditional crafts while deepening awareness and learning,
and to transmit information to the world.
Created a joint work called "Mawaru"
which combines metal and washi paper,
and held an exhibition
at a local bookstore and park.
Communication has
the power to bring together
all the different elements.
Through communication,
I would like to create an environment
where people can forgive themselves and others,
and recreate an immersive state
where there are no boundaries.
