Endō was born in 1950 in Takayama, Gifu. He graduated from Nagoya Junior College of Art and Design in 1972.[1] He exhibited at Documenta 8 in 1987 and at the Venice Biennale in 1990.
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.
