Studied under Fumio Hayasaka. From 1953, he joined "Jikken Kobo" (Experimental Workshop), an avant-garde artist group formed by Toru Takemitsu, Joji Yuasa, Kuniharu Akiyama, and others. Inheriting the aesthetics of his mentor, Fumio Hayasaka, he developed his creative work by employing Western avant-garde techniques while pursuing an Eastern aesthetic. In 1960, he released his representative work, Calligraphy for Piano. From the 1970s onwards, he dedicated himself to creating sound objects and electronic musical instruments. Many of his works are housed at the Gifu Prefectural Museum.
