About Takako Imatani
Ink artist

Balancing roles as an illustrator and graphic designer, the artist found inspiration during a trip to Italy to express his Japanese identity. Using ink from his hometown in Nara, where he was born and raised, he breaks free from the confines of calligraphy frames, embracing spontaneous forms. Engaging in energetic activities such as installations, performances, and stage art that blend ink with various materials, he extends his creativity to spatial expressions, store decoration, logo production, and product design.
