Takeshi Hayashi林武史

Takeshi Hayashi was born in 1956 in Gifu Prefecture. After completing his graduate studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts, he stayed in Paris as a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) overseas research fellow from 1998 to 1999. In 2023, he retired as a professor in the Department of Sculpture at the Tokyo University of the Arts. In 2012, he won the Enku Award at the 6th Enku Grand Award Exhibition for Daichito Kyomei – Sozono Genfukei (Earth and Resonance – the Root of Creation). Hayashi's artistic activity involves taking stones of varying sizes and shapes, and arranging them so as to explore the relationship between the stones, as well as the relationship between the stones and the space that surrounds them.
