ル・デザイナー
THE DESIGNER

The multifaceted art of Yoshikazu takai.

Yoshikazu Takai is a celebrated Japanese sculptor who burst onto the art scene with a solo exhibition in 1987 at Tokyo's renowned Akiyama Gallery, marking the start of an illustrious career. Between 1987 and 1995, his successive exhibitions were acclaimed both nationally and internationally. His grandiose sculptures have become landmarks in public places all over Japan, adding a unique aesthetic touch to famous parks and squares.

About ten years ago, he took an unexpected turn away from large-scale sculpture and turned to stationery. This change led to the creation of his "TETZBO" brand of pens.

In taking this courageous turn, Yoshikazu Takai has demonstrated that artistic expression is not confined to a single medium. His transformation from renowned sculptor to creator of writing objects illustrates his ability to reinvent himself, while retaining his style.
