Kawase Takeshi was born the second son of Kawase Chikushun II. In 1976, he began training and creating works at Koyorogi-gama, his father’s kiln established in Oiso.
He held his first solo exhibition in 1986 in Kandori. Afterward, he continued presenting his works at solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka. In 1991, he opened his own kiln in Yugawara and went independent.
He is the younger brother to Kawase Shinobu, and nephew to Kawase Mitsuyuki.
In addition to continuing Kawase Chikushun I’s tradition and studying Chinese-style blue and white dyes and red ceramic paintings, he has also created works that excel in the beauty of their glaze, including superb purple and yellow cochin ware.
