Born in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, in 1966. He graduated from Kanazawa College of Art and currently lives in Kanazawa City. In memory of his deceased sister, he started creating installations using salt, which is known for its purification and cleansing properties. He would then sit on the floor and diligently draw mazes and giant spiral objects. On the last day of the exhibition, he demolishes the installation with visitors and returns the salt back to the ocean. He has exhibited at MoMA PS1, the Hermitage Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and more.
