He graduated from Tohoku University’s School of Engineering in 1971 before entering a master’s program with a focus on architecture at the University of Tokyo, which he left in 1978 after completing his coursework. He was a professor at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science and in the Faculty of Engineering, and has been the director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum since 2016.
