Takashi Tanimoto is a ceramic artist who, while facing the traditions of Iga head-on, boldly infuses his work with his creative spirit. The artist’s true strength lies in his distinctive forms, which are created with an awareness of the natural movement of the clay, and could be described as ‘acts without action’. While his seemingly eccentric works embody contemporary beauty, a close look at them reveals that they are based on a deep respect and diligent pursuit of the qualities of Old Iga.
