I attended Tama Art University to study glass art. While there are many ways to mold glass, I found blown glass to be very fascinating. A rod's tip is used in the molding process known as "blowing glass," which involves applying heat of more than 1000 degrees to change the shape. I vividly recall how thrilled I was to mold glass, which is pliable like maltose syrup and constantly changes shape.

    I continued to produce and exhibit glass works after I had my degree while working at Azumino Glass Studio and Tokyo International Glass School. Particularly, the Tokyo International Glass School is a glass-focused teaching facility, and I personally have learnt a great deal about the manufacture of glass as well as knowledge of materials and methodologies there. I served as a part-time lecturer at Tokyo University of the Arts for six years starting in 2010. The faculty and students at Tokyo University of the Arts had a genuine demeanor, and I could tell they were enthusiastic about their work. The experience of being in such an environment has taught me a lot.

    Since 2018, I have been teaching at the College of Science & Technology at Ningbo University. I was concerned at the time, but more importantly, I had high expectations for embarking on a new adventure. I built the class curriculum from scratch, assembled the tools and equipment, and started the glass laboratory. The works of students in the glass department have since become more and more well-known, and the number of students had successfully risen steadily.
