Born in Nagoya. He studied composition and conducting at the Tokyo Academy of Music (now Tokyo University of the Arts), under the tutelage of Pringsheim, Gurlitt, Nobutoki Kiyoshi, and others. From that time, he focused on Japanese texts and melodies, creating works that utilized them. In 1948, after the war, he formed "Chijinkai" with Kishio Hirao, Komei Abe, and others, publishing songs and chamber music. Subsequently, prompted by a commission from NHK, he became devoted to choral works. He left behind numerous masterpieces, such as "Mizu no Inochi" (1964), which are still part of the repertoire of choirs nationwide. As a Catholic, he also composed many liturgical hymns. He was also active as a choral conductor.
