Selected bibliography
He began to write poems from the day after Japan had ended its role in World War II. Being inspired from surrealism and Heidegger, he wrote poems that ask the meaning of being. He was part of the VOU and Arechi poetry groups, and was awarded the Attilio Bertolucci Award for his poetry. Takano also discovered a Machin-like formula for calculating pi.
