Inheriting the legacy of the first Mataro, he learned the authentic techniques and their essence from the second Mataro, his father, who was recognized as a legitimate successor of the Kimekomi doll tradition, originating from Kamo Shrine, the birthplace of Kimekomi dolls over 270 years ago.
Furthermore, he honed his sculpting and drawing skills under the tutelage of Hideo Shimada, a judge of the Nitten Exhibition, and Shigeki Yamazaki, a member of the Nitten Exhibition and the Japan Sculpture Association.
His style is elegant, incorporating the traditional Kimekomi doll techniques with a "Mataro-ness" full of modern sensibility into his works, which have received high acclaim in numerous exhibitions and competitions.
He also served as the Chairman of the Japan Doll Association, continuously leading not only the Kimekomi doll world but also the entire doll industry with his exceptional leadership.
