In the "Violin/Fiddle Class", you will not only learn to make the sound of the score, but also listen deeply to the sound and learn to feel the music and feel yourself. Ultimately, I will support you so that you can express "the one that is inside you and that is unique to you."

I lives in Osaka. Started classical violin at the age of five. Graduated from Osaka College of Music, majoring in stringed instruments, and completed the same graduate school.

While still in school, I participated in overseas seminars and festivals to study solo and chamber music. Performed chamber music with students of University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory at the Kyoto International Music Student Festival sponsored by the Roam Music Foundation, a gathering of music students selected from around the world. After that, I belonged to the Osaka Chamber Orchestra, appeared in numerous concerts, and worked as an extra member of professional orchestras such as City of Kyoto Symphony Orchestra, Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra, and Osaka Symphony Orchestra. For a year, as an educational assistant and part-time lecturer at Osaka College of Music, I taught younger generations in orchestra, string ensemble, chamber music classes, etc.

Passed the newcomer audition of Japan International League of Artists and performed at the newcomer recommended concert (Sunny Hall, Nippori). In the 1999 Opera House Chamber Music Series, Japan's leading performer, Tomotada Soh (violin), I co-starred chamber music with Hirofumi Fukai (viola) and Fumiaki Kono (cello), and the situation was aired.

I met Irish Fiddle when I was a student. Invited by a classmate who was studying folk music, and I became interested in it.The Irish music of the island nation that is born from the relationship between people and the relationship between people and nature became fascinated, and I began to explore the Irish fiddle.

After working as an Irish band around 1998, since 2000, with guitarist Toshihide Tenma formed ROOTS. Started playing with original arrangements centered on Irish and Scottish folk songs.

In 2002, with the support of the Japanese Embassy, a concert was held at the Grand Theater in Swansey, England.It was reported in local newspapers and gained popularity.

In 2004 Co-starred with Bob Dylan's partner Scarlet Rivera and Eric Wrigler, a pipe player known for movies "Troy" and "Titanic" soundtrack performance.
After that,participated as a guest on a tour of Stefan Grossman, known as a country blues evangelist,and Tony McManus, who is said to be the best Celtic guitarist in the world.

We was also interested in Japanese music which is our roots. Sympathized with Koichi Kishi, a composer from Suita City, Osaka, and paformed his "works for violin and piano" by guitar and violin.

In 2008, at the 8th anniversary of the formation of ROOTS, as the culmination of 8 years of ROOTS, Celtic Live &Koichi Kishi's work collection and ballet will hold a collaboration event, and an interview will be published in the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun.

In 2011, I studied Scottish with a scholarship at the Sierra Fiddle Camp, which is directed by Scottish fiddler Alasder Freisa.

Received the Suita City Cultural Achievement Award in 2014.
