With Genpei Akasegawa and Natsuyuki Nakamishi , he founded the Hi Red Center in 1963 , where happenings were held. He was a member of the Mono-ha movement, which tried to fathom the world through gesture , action , process and experiment . Takamatsu was impressed by Eva Hesse's work .

For the work Photograph of Photograph (1972 to 1973), he hired a professional photographer to take snapshots from the Takamatsu family album. With these photo series he explored the connection between memory and interpretation .
From 1964 until his death, Takamatsu worked on his shadow painting, which is inspired by the Japanese tradition of shadow painting of the 19th century.
