  KENMOCHI ISAMU was born in Tokyo. He is one of the pioneers of industrial design in Japan. Drawing inspiration from foreign manufacturing methods and utilizing the techniques he observed overseas, he aimed to advocate for a unique Japanese modern design that combines modern and traditional craftsmanship harmoniously. Tatemori graduated from the Tokyo Higher School of Arts and Crafts Woodcraft Department in 1932 and became a technician at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's Craft Guidance Institute. The following year, under the guidance of German architect Bruno Taut, who was visiting Japan, he conducted research on "normative prototypes" such as chairs. In 1950, he met Isamu Noguchi and, under the guidance of Kenzo Tange, the three collaborated on the creation of a bamboo chair. In 1952, with the assistance of Riki Watanabe and others, he co-founded the Japan Industrial Designers Association. In 1955, he established the Tatemori Design Institute.
  
  Tatemori's works embody a fusion of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, continuing to influence people worldwide. In 1964, his "Wisteria Chair" was permanently collected by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Tatemori created many masterpieces, making significant contributions to the development of modern design in Japan.
