Born in Yokohama, Japan, Gota Takase went to Los Angeles in 1988 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional photographer. It was there that he met the master gold and silversmiths Goro and Riki, which sparked his interest in Native Jewelry.
Takase then learned jewelry-making skills from Native American master Ben Nighthorse. In 1995, he obtained the qualification of a certified jewelry appraiser in the U.S. and returned to Japan two years later to establish his studio in Hokan-cho, Okayama Prefecture.
In 2015, Takase said farewell to his long-term residence in the United States and moved to Mimasaka City,Okayama Perferture, to fully enjoy a creative and relaxed lifestyle.
