Completed graduate school at Musashino Art University.
I was fascinated by the material of iron from the beginning of the 80's activity,
I produce works by repeating fusing and welding.
Freed from the original sense of hardness and weight, the concept of sculpture = lump,
The space is transformed.
We observe the “field” deeply and take in what is there, whether it is visible or invisible,
Build your own world.
In recent years, works of different materials such as plaster and glass have also been announced.
Major awards include the Minister of Education New Artist Award, the Mainichi Arts Award, and the Nakahara Teijiro Award.

With memories with his late wife as well as his late sister, both of whom left this world at a young age as the main theme for his work, he has been working on installation using salt symbolizing cleansing/purification in Japan. On last day of exhibition, he destroys installation with audience and returns salt to sea. Past exhibitions include MoMA PS1, State Hermitage Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.

The space is transformed. Deeply observe the "field" and take in what is there, whether it is visible or invisible, and build a unique world.
