Works[]

Endō is one of Japan's leading sculptors, and his large-scale, realistic works are highly regarded in Japan and other countries.[2] He transcends the boundaries of Mono-ha and publishes works that question the life and death of human beings and the origin of art.[3] He also uses materials such as wood, water, soil and so on to create works that question the fundamental meaning of matter.[1]
