He was selected for the Kyoto Spring Soga Exhibition and the Ishikawa Contemporary Art Exhibition, won a prize at the Wajima City Art Exhibition, and had a solo exhibition, etc. He worked on Japanese-style painting until the age of 29. 2005 Joined Fujioka Tomoe-do Co. Ltd. in 2005. He had no choice but to stop working as an artist in order to concentrate on his family's business. After more than ten years of technical study as a craftsman, he could not stop himself from wanting to create works of art, so he switched his method of expression to lacquer and began creating his own works of art again.
