Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1953, Takiguchi Kazuo graduated from the Royal College of Art (UK) in 1992. Based in Japan, he has exhibited in New York, Taiwan, Korea, and other countries. Major awards include the Runner-up Prize at the China-Japan International Ceramic Art Exhibition (1986), the Grand Prix at the Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition (1989), the Prize for Excellence in Crafts at the MOA Museum (1990), the Gotoh Memorial Tokyu Culture Award for New Artists (1991), the Ceramic Society of Japan Award (1991), and the Kyoto Prefecture Culture Award Encouragement Prize (1996).
Takiguchi Kazuo is an acclaimed ceramic sculptor from the Kyoto area, is known for his unique pottery. His large pieces possess an anthropomorphic presence. He spent a short period studying with Kiyomizu Rokubei VI (1901-1980) and later with Yagi Kazuo (1918-1979). Additionally, he often visited Kondō Yutaka (1932-1983) and Fujihira Shin (1922-2012). Yagi’s emphasis on non-traditional, sculptural forms profoundly influenced Takiguchi's practice.
