1988年神奈川生まれ。玉川大学では、鍛金を中心に金工の伝統技法を学ぶ。大学院は広島市立大学に進み、数種の鉄とニッケルを鍛接により貼り合わせ、折り返し鍛錬にて波状模様を得るダマスカス鋼の製造技法を研究し、伝統的な金工技法と組み合わせることで新しい金属造形の可能性を追求する。
現在は神奈川県綾瀬市に工房を構え、国内での個展、グループ展、そして海外のアートフェアにて作品発表を行う。

Born 1988 in Kanagawa. Studied traditional metalworking techniques at Tamagawa University, focusing on metal forging. In postgraduate studies at Hiroshima City University, he researched the Damascus steel manufacturing technique, in which several types of iron and nickel are pasted together by forge welding to obtain a wavy pattern by folding and forging, and pursued the possibility of new metal modelling by combining this technique with traditional metalworking techniques. He currently maintains a studio in Ayase, Kanagawa Prefecture, and has presented his work in solo and group exhibitions in Japan and at art fairs overseas.
