Takeshi Nagasaki (born 1970, Nara, Japan), the founder of N-tree, calls himself an ‘art gardener’.
Having studied at Tokyo University of the Arts and spending two years in Spain to study painting, Nagasaki returned to Japan to work with woodcuts and sculpture, while at the same time embarking on a degree in landscape studies.
In 1997 he formed N-tree, and ten years later relocated to London, moving back to Japan in 2010.
