She moved from Manchuria and after graduating from Jiyu Gakuen Women's High School,[2] in 1950 she joined Iwanami Film Productions, an affiliated company that had no capital relationship with Iwanami Shoten.[3][4]
In 1977, she independently produced "Usuzumi no Sakura" for the first time over four years.

At Iwanami Hall, the long roadshow of the 3-hour long documentary from May 29 to June 25 was said to be an adventure, but it turned out to be a record success and will be re-screened for a week on August 7 . She establishes herself as a documentary filmmaker.[10][11]
