SPECIAL
This paper fan was produced for the exhibition 'Rocket Ninja' by Kenichi Takanaka, a painter, calligrapher, and ceramic artist. His drawing has been rendered on washi paper using inkjet printing, while the back is finished in a solid navy color. The fan ribs are made of white bamboo, with a key mark laser-engraved on the main rib. The tip, marked '天' (Ten), is painted in gold, providing an elegant touch. This unique item merges Takanaka’s distinctive artistic vision with a practical daily accessory, offering a blend of artistry and functionality.
【Kenichi Takanaka】Kenichi Takanaka was born in 1966 in Toride, Ibaraki Prefecture. After leaving Gakushuin University, he began creating calligraphy and paintings as a self-taught artist, drawing inspiration from Chinese classics, Buddhist scriptures, and Japanese literature. In 1993, he built his own wood-fired kiln in Otaki, Chiba Prefecture, and began his full-scale work in ceramics. His creations, produced while living a semi-self-sufficient lifestyle, have drawn attention for their distinctive sensibility and unique expression, leading to numerous solo exhibitions at various galleries. A&S has been offering his works since 2016.
