He's best known for his work in ceramics and cultural diplomacy. These days he judges entries at the Mino Ceramic Art Contest and handles pottery exchange programs for the government—basically representing Japanese ceramics on the international stage. Earlier on, he advised the Oribe Gakuen Ceramics Club.
When he's not working, he's into plants and animals. He's a Type A blood type if that matters to you, and he was born on November 23. One thing worth noting: he doesn't drink.
