    Description

    There are no backs or fronts to these works, so please display whichever side you prefer in the front. Inspiration When you are in the natural surroundings of the Yatsugatake Mountains, you experience "living nature" and "natural time," which is different from the society created by human beings. The wild nature was not too close to people, cute and powerful, without any backstory or frontage, but just continued to live nature as it is. The inspiration and respect we receive from nature is the source of our creation. The teddy bear's arms and ankles are movable, following the traditional method of making teddy bears. The inside is made of cloth and cotton, and the surface is expressed as if it were made of wood or stone. The artist insists on using natural materials such as real stones, branches, and dried flowers as well as fakes. (This is the artist's original production method, which won the Grand Prix at the Japan Teddy Bear Association's contest.) Unlike ordinary stuffed animals, this product is not suitable for touching. The surface is specially processed and natural materials such as branches are incorporated into the work, so please handle with care to avoid damage. *Signature is on the sole of the foot *Cannot be displayed outdoors, photo is an image only.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Takayuki Takigawa is a stuffed animal artist who specializes in teddy bears. Originally, stuffed toys were healing objects that attracted many people with their cute appearance and fluffy comfort. However, the stuffed animals he produces are strangely shaped to look like trees or rocks, drawing a line between the viewer and the work and making the viewer recognize the respect for silence. Takigawa studied primitive plastic beauty (archaeology Jomon culture ornaments) in graduate school and worked at a teddy bear museum as a curator, deepening his knowledge of the subject. He then created a method of creating plush toys and dioramas in one piece, which won the Grand Prix in a contest held by the Japan Teddy Bear Association. This method of production and his work were recognized by the public. He has left the city and set up his studio in the Yatsugatake Mountains, where he lives while gazing at the forest and thinking about "living nature" and "natural time. What will he and his mysterious creatures tell us in the deep silent forest of Yatsugatake?
