ABOUT THE HOST
Emi Takagi Stapler is a Japanese-American quilter and designer currently living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Born in the United States and raised in Japan, she finds inspiration from her Japanese culture and upbringing, but through a modern lens.
She enjoys connecting with artists and makers to listen to their creative journeys, and believes that we find the most authentic inspiration when we are curious and look far beyond our own front doors. To learn more about Emi or the Creative Japan podcast, you can find her on Instagram @emiandkostudio or visit her website at www.emiandkostudio.com.
Welcome to Creative Japan, the podcast where we explore the vibrant world of artists and makers united by a Japanese connection. Join me as we meet with a wide range of artists, and touch on many different art styles and areas of creativity.
Some guests will be of Japanese heritage, they could be contemporary artists with more western influences, while others may show Japanese cultural influences in their work. Other guests will be of non-Japanese heritage, who may be living in Japan, or who may have dedicated their work to a traditional Japanese craft. Some guests may predominantly use Japanese materials or influences in their art as well.
I am your host Emi Takagi Stapler, a Japanese American quilter and designer. I believe that by listening to others' stories, we can grow as creatives and find new sources of inspiration. We can find commonality in our struggles and successes, we can learn definitions of crafts and techniques, and we can explore forms or approaches to art that we may not have considered before.
Get curious with me, as we uncover artist’s creative journeys, influences, and unique perspectives that may inspire and ignite your artistic voice, here at Creative Japan.
