In 2000, she created the Butoh company Kiraza. She has given many Butoh performances at historical theaters, temples and shrines in Kyoto. In 2020, She was awarded the National Arts Festival Excellence Prize. Since the opening of KYOTO Butoh-kan in 2016, she has been performing solo works for a long time.
