After studying Urushi art in Kagawa Prefecture, I worked mainly in public exhibitions and group exhibitions for about 10 years.
For 13 years from 2011, I took a break from production activities to raise my three children. Then, in the spring of 2024, I gradually resumed my activities.
I hope to share the beauty of the urushi material itself and the marvelous Japanese culture with many people.
