Takamori is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant (2006), and the USA Ford Fellowship (2011). His works are collected in numerous institutions, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Ariana Museum in Geneva.
Creative Concept:
Most of Takamori’s work has been strongly influenced by his Japanese heritage. He has translated traditional Japanese prints into three-dimensional porcelain sculptures. He recreated his hometown in Japan from memory by using clay. Also, the creations revolve around the blending of Japanese and American culture, as well as some reflections on the society.
