I make Japanese teapot in Hakodate.
My dream is to play a part in making known the beauty of Japanese tea culture and craftwork through my teapot.
Making teapot requires subtle senses of the finger tips.
So in order not to lose the senses, I only make teapots.
In this site, I would like to introduce some of my work and production process.
