Takemi thinks puppetry is a bridge between reality and a dream.

Takemi (she/her) feels lucky to have known some great puppeteers and puppet makers already when she started in puppetry, and naturally her career as puppeteer started because those people welcomed her in their works. Those artists include Tom Lee, Lake Simons, Phantom Limb Company, Dan Hurlin, Matt Acheson and Chris Green. Takemi is thankful for the web that gave her those opportunities and the people who invited her into this magical world.
