Pottery stirring human emotions
for over 1000 years

Having been enchanted by vessels of the Heian period（794-1185）and the Kamakura period（1185-1333）, my only goal has been to produce works that surpass them, and to pass such works down to the future, working exclusively with climbing kilns and Nature Glaze. Having fired my works in a 70m-climbing kiln in Ashikaga, Tochigi then a 100m-climbing kiln in Kashiwazaki, Niigata, I’m now working on the project for the world’s longest climbing kiln. Vessels that were born a thousand years ago have long outlived the names of their creators. Just like the passionate potters of the Heian period whose names nobody knows now, I wish to become a potter who can move people with my work after 1000 years.
