Born in Tokyo, Kazu Nakagawa came to New Zealand in 1987, bringing with him a set of traditional Japanese cabinetmaker’s tools. His extraordinary skill at working with wood, immense patience and willingness to spend whatever it takes to achieve perfection have created some incredible works of art (see here).

Nakagawa has exhibited at previous headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF exhibitions and is himself a Waiheke Island local. For further information, visit www.kazunakagawa.com
