He adjusts modern sense to the oldest Bizen Ware which expresses tradition over 1,000 years and essence today. The profundity of expression can be possibly felt from tea utensils or vases created with the potter's wheel or hand-forming by long-time research of kiln. The firing is based on both of the natural glaze and the perilla color. He makes vivid pottery with the technique of Neriage, Kinsai, Ginsai and Aisai, taking advantage of his study in Kyoto.
