    Description

    Japanese calligraphy written with Sumi ink on Xuan paper.

    Even though this character is used as "i.e." nowadays, it is originally coming from the bow used in Japanese martial art, Kyudo. It represents the bow and its string when the string is removed and left hanging loosely, from which it came to mean "the state as it is" or "be yourself".
    This character also means "straight". This is because it is derived from the image that the arrow goes straight ahead to the target when it is released.
    I drew this work with the hope to live your life in your own way to reach your goal straight ahead.

    The work is paneled, which is supported by the wooden board.
    Metal hooks are attached on the back, it is ready to hang on the wall.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    The "calligraphy" he is aiming for is not what is known as traditional Japanese "calligraphy," but modern "calligraphy" that can be integrated into any scene in the world. It is not avant-garde calligraphy (sumizo), but something that can be read as a character and its meaning understood, while still containing elements of it.
    While other calligraphers have used the calligraphy they have studied, and so-called "calligraphers' characters," he writes as a child would innocently write, leaving everything he has studied blank when he creates his works. Yet, the lines are well-honed and the characters, although avant-garde, are legible. This is the kind of calligraphy he strives for.
    He writes letters, and letters have meaning. Taking this meaning into account, he creates his works with the hope that when people see them, they will feel relieved, be cheered up, think about peace, or feel something.
