While most potters in Tokoname focus on unglazed fired pottery, and few specialize in glazed pieces, he primarily creates glazed bonsai pots and water basins. He strives to reproduce ancient Chinese and mid-period hakuji (white celadon) and jun-glaze techniques, earning him a strong reputation at a young age. Currently, he is one of Japan's leading creators of glazed bonsai containers, not just in Tokoname. In recent years, he has also been working on Namban-style unglazed fired pottery, including pieces with partial ash glazes, which are popular for their pleasing Namban aesthetic.
