Eriko Takefuji
Local ResidentEriko at a Chado Workshop at Mitcham Community Centre in 2025
As a dedicated instructor of the Urasenke school of Japanese tea ceremony (Chado), one of Japan’s oldest and largest tea traditions, I also conducts workshops introducing the art and spirit of Chado to Australian audiences.
Across my work in traditional crafts, landscape design and tea ceremony, I am passionate about sharing the richness of Japanese culture and the essence of Japanese aesthetics with people in Australia.
TAKEFUJI
While the online boutique is the heart of TAKEFUJI, Eriko also participates in Japanese cultural events and markets held in Adelaide, creating opportunities for people to discover and experience the richness of Japanese craftsmanship.
Launched in 2026, TAKEFUJI LAWLER is a landscape design practice that explores how Japanese aesthetics can be expressed within the unique natural environment of Australia. Working alongside her husband Richard, whose background is in architectural design, TAKEFUJI LAWLER aims to create gardens that are not confined to the traditional Japanese garden style, but instead draw on the essence of Japanese aesthetics to create spaces that respond to both people and nature.

Distinguished and Famous people from Anglesea
Anglesea's connections with distinguished people include the pages of illustrated books and the town's junior football ground. Both have supported careers familiar well beyond the Surf Coast.
🎨 Robert Ingpen
Illustrator Robert Ingpen has made his home and worked in Anglesea. Born in Geelong and trained at RMIT, he became internationally recognised for illustration, receiving the Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1986. His work on classic stories has introduced new readers to books already familiar to earlier generations. The coastal connection is a working home: a place where an illustrator's close observation and imagination could turn a familiar tale into a fresh visual experience.
🏅 Patrick Dangerfield
Patrick Dangerfield played junior football at Anglesea Football Club, a connection he has continued to acknowledge in supporting community football. His AFL career began with Adelaide before he moved to Geelong. He won the Brownlow Medal in 2016 and played in Geelong's 2022 premiership team. Behind those national honours is the local club where he grew up playing, learning the game before it became a profession and a regular subject of weekend conversation across the country.
