This exhibition was held at LOWW, an art gallery run by a music label in Meguro, Tokyo.

​

The exhibition was presented in two different styles, one in the first half and the other in the second half, to allow visitors to fully appreciate the works he has created throughout his career. In the first half, the center counter featured cutlery, small plants, and boxes arranged against a white background. In the second half, the exhibition shifted to a black theme, showcasing fire-related items such as Japanese candles, candlesticks, and fire shears. As the sun set, the Japanese candles were lit, expressing the beauty of the deepening black that emerges from the limited visibility.

The beautiful, powerful forms of living plants are expressed in sturdy wrought iron.

However, this wrought iron also embodies the fateful "consideration" repeated throughout the natural world, such as the coexistence and transience of life.

Please experience the "wabi-sabi" aesthetic of Takeda's works, created as part of HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY.
