Born in Yamanashi in 1962. Since 1986 he has traveled to Asia, Africa and Central-South America. From around 1990, he has noticed the beauty of the soil under his feet and began collecting soil from all over the Japanese archipelago. By 2017, he had completed his collection in all municipalities. Since 2004, he has been collecting soil and exhibiting his works in France. The basis of his expression is to bring out the fun of "the diversity of the world" through his perspective of soil.
