He began his career as an illustrator in the late 1980s while studying at Tokyo Zokei University.
His creative activities are diverse, including oil paintings, acrylic paintings, prints, and murals, product designs for apparel and household goods, interior designs, logos, and advertisements, live paintings collaborating with various types of music, and publishing picture books based on his own experiences.
Since the 2011 earthquake, he has turned his focus from overseas to within Japan, traveling across the country to revisit and re-experience its culture.
He has been dedicated to creating works that convey messages for the next generation, collaborating with people he met in various places.
Developing his solo exhibition "Mirai Omiyage Ten" held in 2013, he is actively collaborating with artisans of traditional Japanese crafts such as lacquerware and indigo dyeing.
