In 1999 she would be for the first time accepted into and subsequently awarded at the Asahi Togeiten Ceramics Exhibition.  In both 2000 and 2002 she would garner prizes at the Seto Sometsuke Public Exhibition specializing in Blue and White ceramics, showing the respect her work had already gained among her peers.  In 2007 her work was prized at the Nihon Shinsaku Kogei ten, and in 2010 was presented for public viewing at the MOA Museum of Art in Shizuoka. In 2013 she would begin exhibiting with the Tobi-ten of the Nihon Togei Biutsu Kyokai. Her work was purchased by the Imperial Household Agency in 2020. Following the death of her husband, and no longer able to carry the heavy pieces she had made alone, she retired from the ceramic world in 2023.
