Bio

Owariasahi, Japan

Takeshi Wada has been ice sculpting since 1999. 25 years ago he was influence by a co-worker while he was doing an ice sculpture for the hotel event, which is why he started carving ice. Learning techniques throughout other ice events wasn’t easy to do. Now he is the executive chef at the Castle Plaza Hotel in Nagoya, Japan where he uses ice to decorate the buffet table to look more attractive.

He asked the Master ice carver Junichi Nakamura for advice on ice carving and was invited to join the World Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks. Now four years later, 2020, he has returned to join the team alongside Junichi Nakamura and Shinichi Sawamura for another competiition at the World Ice Art Championships.
