In the 1920s, Takada pursued lyricism and structurism in his style, under strong influence of Hakuyo Fuchikami’s pictorialism. He later experimented with various techniques such as soft focus and deformation.

His postwar nude portraits (late 1940s to early 1950s) were exhibited in New York’s Houk Friedman Gallery in 1993 and were reviewed by Charles Hagen for The New York Times.
