His sculptural process is both complicated and highly creative. Using pulleys, he first flattens a slab of thinly pounded clay between 1/8-1/4 inches thick and lays it in a canvas sheet. With the use of pulleys, he then hoists it and suspends in the air, molding it into the amoebic form he wishes. After the clay body is dry enough to maintain its shape, he then tears open a hole at the top. His ambitiously abstract forms have made him one of the standard-bearers of contemporary Japanese ceramics.
