Phuntsho Wangdi（Dzongkha: ཕུན་ཚོགས་དབང་འདུས།, born on 1989), also known as Phuntsho Takchu (Japanese: プンツォ・ワンディ, Chinese: PuEn 菩恩), is an artist, Bhutanese Thangka painter, and traditional craftsman.

He was born in Takchu village, Mongar District, Bhutan. "Takchu (Dzongkha:སྟག་ཆུ།)" means "Tiger Water", is used as his artist name and online gallery name.[3]

He is a devout Buddhist, his artist name "菩恩[3] means "the blessings(恩) from bodhisattva(菩薩)' in Chinese.

With 11 years experience as a Thangka painter, he moved to Japan in 2018 and started working independently.

He creates high-quality artworks by incorporating Japanese traditional techniques and materials into the Bhutanese art he had cultivated. Besides, he completes the entire process from the beginning to completion by his hands, including the painting canvas and the display frame.

His creative theme is a fusion of tradition and modernity.[4] In an interview for the ART REPORT of the Japanese art magazine 'Monthly Gallery' issued No. 7 of 2019,[5] he stated, "I want to establish a unique world that blends tradition and modernity.... This will lead to the preservation of Bhutan's artisan community based on tradition and its development in the artistic field."

Specially, he has an excellent reputation for his precise works using the piping technique (Dzongkha: chongbur སྐྱོང་བུར)[6]and the ultra-fine-point brush strokes[7] based in Bhutanese traditional art. In August 2019, his delicate work was featured in the Japanese school education magazine (GYOSEI Publishing) in the article "Stories that start with the hands."[8]
