　　In Hayao Miyazaki's early work "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," the "Sea of Corruption" is a mysterious ecosystem composed of fungi after the destruction of human civilization, filled with countless microorganisms, giant insects, thriving trees, and releasing miasma. Takashi Takeya gained fame for his sculptural art design in Keita Amemiya's films. Due to his superb sculpting and design skills, he has successively participated in the prototype production, special shaping, and toy design of tokusatsu works and films, and has enthusiastic fans overseas. It is said that Mark Parker, CEO of NIKE, who loves art collection, also personally acquired Takashi Takeya's sculptural works.
