Takashi Amano san; our master!
Takashi Amano is widely recognized as the founder of the “Japanese aquascape.” After a career as a professional cyclist, he transitioned into painting, nature photography, and ultimately, the art of aquarium design. Initially, his focus was solely on the fish, but over time, he began to incorporate Zen techniques into his work.
Ancient philosophy.
Zen Buddhism, which originated in China, made its way to Japan through Korea during the Kamakura period (1192 – 1333). Its influence was profound, giving rise to beautiful Zen gardens. Amano sought to encapsulate the essence of Zen nature within his aquariums. By using only a few types of plants, carefully harmonized with stones and wood, he developed a unique style that resonated with many Japanese. In 1980, he founded Aqua Design Amano (ADA), which became synonymous with his distinctive approach to aquascaping. His work gained international acclaim, with books written about his techniques being translated into English, thus introducing Amano’s art to Europe.

“With great pain and sadness, I learned that the Master of Aquascaping, Takashi Amano San, passed away at the age of 61. He left us on August 4th in his hometown of Niigata. I am proud to have known and met him, and I create my aquascapes with him in mind. He remains for me the ‘Master of Aquascaping,’ and our forum will always be an ode to Takashi Amano San. I wish his family much strength during this time.” —Mickey Paulssen
