From Resolution to Evolution. Conversation with Takashi Kojima

Takashi Kojima is a jewelry artist based in Japan. His necklaces comprising gem-made constructions with a hint of anime characters, and his skillfully structured brooches using the runners (leftover frames) from plastic toy model kits, have always delighted viewers’ eyes. He also runs a studio-cum-shop called FACILE, named after an Italian word that is occasionally used to say ‘go easy’. Despite the word’s implied lightness, his artistic attitude is honest and solid. In this conversation, I followed how his resolution has evolved into his work.
