JIDAI
For a long time, he has been performing Pantomime on the streets which he learnt by himself. One day, he met with Terry Press - Canadian Mime artist who was the best student of Stefan Niedzialkowski and his assistant - and started to learn Art Mime from Terry Press. After 10 years of learning Art Mime, he started his work in earnest as he felt “Mime is my life”.
Through teaching Art Mime in Japan (Currently, JIDAI is the only one who is able to teach Art Mime in Japan) for 14 years, he started JIDAI ORGANIC MIME in 2010. He founded "JAPAN ART MIME SOCIETY " in 2012, and became the chairman.
His pieces are known as poetic and surreal. He has also been working on and researching Fujima style Classical Japanese Dance Nihon-Buyo for 16 years, Brakedance for 9 years, Martial Arts, and different kinds of Body works.
His directing, based on his research, is gaining an established reputation. In 2010 and 2012, he was invited by Stefan Niedzialkowski as a guest teacher for International Mime Art Theatre Workshops “Silence of the Body/Milczące Ciało” in Warsaw, Poland.
