In 1990, participated in the 1st Kitakyushu Biennale. From 1997, in parallel with sculpture, she also began to exhibit prints. Since the mid-1990s, she has held large-scale solo exhibitions throughout Japan, while also participating in major art festivals, such as the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial, Setouchi Triennale, and Aichi Triennale. Her sculptures are also installed as public artworks across the country.
