Born in Osaka, Japan in 1979, she graduated from the Osaka University of Arts in 2001. She is well-known in and outside Japan for her fragile ceramic flower pieces made from mixed clay. Rather than focusing on their characteristic beauty and vivaciousness, using a monotonic colour palette, her ceramics embody the dark, sombre and fleeting nature of flowers, but also, human life. 
 
Her idea is derived from the seeming similarities between the life stages (growth, bloom, decay) of flowers and human beings. She is one of Japan’s rising stars and has had numerous solo exhibitions and group exhibitions throughout Japan.
