Nobu Takehisa, who lives in Colombia, is following in her famous grandfather's footsteps as an artist, although she resisted the calling at first.
Takehisa, 63, was born in Tokyo, the daughter of painter and poet Makoto Tsuji. She was adopted soon after birth by Fujihiko Takehisa, a friend of her father's and the second son of Yumeji Takehisa (1884-1934).
A pioneer in graphic design, Yumeji Takehisa is a poet and artist noted for his unique portrayals of women.
