Takehito Ichikawa
- Japanese woodwork artist based in Nagoya, Japan
- Born in Nagoya in 1977
- Spent years in furniture making, production of Buddhist altars, etc. and experienced in sourcing and handling various types of wood, including the very rare species.
- Started to design and craft wooden tools and objects related to daily life using off-cut wood pieces in recent years because he wants more people to be able to see, admire and live with the beautiful gifts from nature.
- With his exceptional craftsmanship and creativity, he prioritises the designs that naturally show the original wood grains, shapes, and colours in the nicest ways with the aesthetics through his eyes. He always holds a respectful and curious attitude to things that have rich cultural charms and have been holding memories over years.
- We have just conluded the first overseas solo exhibition for Takehito Ichikawa on 1st December. We hope you will enjoy his unique creations here if you couldn't attend the exhibition.
