Masami Tanaka
Born in Tokyo in 1986.
“I want to deliver an exciting and prosperous life”
In 2011, he went to Europe alone with the aim of becoming a leather craftsman.
After returning to Japan, he opened an apparel shop with a friend in Tokyo and worked on everything from design to sewing.
After that, while facing his manufacturing, he wanted to express what he wanted to do more strongly and became independent.
In 2017, we launched “TAKUMI TOKYO” in order to embody “manufacturing that is close to our daily lives” and to deliver “exciting and prosperous living” through our products.
At the crowdfunding “Kickstarter” that started in the United States in 2009, we are accepting support (purchase) for the “Rin” brand for a limited time of 60 days.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
