Takeshi Kitamura
Takeshi Kitamura (b. 1935) is designated a Living National Treasure or a holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property for his mastery over the techniques called ra and nishiki (brocade). Equating the formation of textile with expression, Kitamura has used the intricately intertwining warp within the thickness of about one millimeter to produce cloth that impresses us with its quiet movement and depth. This show introduces Kitamura’s works spanning his entire career to lead the viewers into a world of woven structure with rich contrast.
