He is a holder of the Intangible Cultural Property Selection and Preservation Techniques in the Japanese Noh mask world and serves as the chairman of the Noh Mask Research Association. He grew up watching Noh mask making from a young age and became a Noh mask maker along with his older and younger brothers. While inheriting traditional techniques, he is particular about hand-carving to respond to subtle changes in the wood, and he chose to make masks as a form of self-expression rather than as part of Nohgaku. His Noh masks have value as works of art, and his expressions and coloring of female masks are highly regarded as the best of his time.
