Born in Tokyo. Studied at Tokyo University of the Arts and its graduate school, under Tomojiro Ikenouchi, Akio Yashiro, and Teizo Matsumura. In 1977, formed "Ensemble Vent d'Orient," a group of performers and composers. For approximately 10 years thereafter, he dedicated his efforts to introducing contemporary works from Japan and abroad. In 1979, he studied at the Conservatoire de Paris for one year, dispatched by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. He specializes particularly in orchestral works, characterized by transparent and pure sounds spun from dialogue with nature and the self. Perhaps due to his meticulous and cautious approach to composition, his works, unusually for contemporary music, are frequently re-performed. He is currently a professor at Aichi University of the Arts and a board member of both the Japan Society for Contemporary Music and the Japan Federation of Composers. He has received numerous awards to date, including the Otaka Prize (twice), the UNESCO IMC International Rostrum of Composers Grand Prize, and the Kenzo Nakajima Music Prize.
