Born in 1989 in Otofuke Town, Hokkaido. He learned about attus(※1) weaving from books he saw as a child and was fascinated by the idea of "textiles made from tree bark," maintaining a deep interest ever since. At age 27, while working as a cook in Shiga Prefecture, he decided to travel around Japan by bicycle. During his journey, he visited Nibutani. Although the conditions were not yet right to start seriously at that time, after returning to Shiga, he was encouraged by the owner of his regular cake shop who said, "If you have something you want to do, go do it." Supported by this, he applied for the regional revitalization cooperation program at age 29 and served for three years. His attus weaving skills were taught by local senior artisans during that time, and he continues to seek guidance from them on occasion.

His main works include attus woven fabrics and knitting techniques inspired by the traditional emsat, a type of traditional sword strap. His attus weaving is characterized by a uniquely strong and robust style. When weaving, he tightens the fabric firmly and uses thicker weft threads to create durable and wear-resistant textiles. Currently, he collaborates with tailors to transform these fabrics into jackets and neckties, and combines them with deer leather to produce card cases, thereby creating new appeal through processing. Additionally, he produces guitar and camera straps applying emusat techniques.

A member of the Nibutani Craft Association.
Participated in the collaborative product development project of "Nibutani Ainu Craft" in 2020 and 2021.

※1 Attus is a traditional Ainu textile, plain-woven from fibers extracted from the inner bark of trees such as the Japanese elm Ohyo (Ulmus laciniata, also known as lobed elm), as well as the garments made from it. Nibutani Attus, woven using traditional techniques handed down in the Nibutani region of Biratori, is a designated Traditional Craft Product of Japan. Nibutani Attus is a special brand that can only be called as such when created only by specially recognized weavers.
