In 1998, I started to fall in love with Greenland-style kayaking. Before that, I was European style. However, once I learned the joy of Greenland style, I never went back to European style.
After that, I gathered comrades from all over Japan and organized “QajaqJPN,”. And the club became a Qaannat Kattuffiat official club.
Currently, I have completed my presidential mission for QajaqJPN, and am totally free. For the last few years, I have my own studio, STORM SHELTER（http://www.storm-on.com/）, where I hold workshops for Qajaq making and roll classes. And I also respond to offers from overseas. Below is its history.
