Chu Enoki (b. 1944), a native of Kagawa Prefecture, is a Kobe-based contemporary artist who started his artistic career in the 1960s. He is known for his avant-garde public performances and the use of controversial motifs, such as guns and cannons. Much of Enoki’s work is constructed from salvaged metal scraps, which he reshapes himself, making use of his past experience as a worker at a metal-processing factory.
