Artist's comment
Being embraced by old wisdom, I want my written characters to be reflection of myself at the moment.
With that spirit, I have interpreted the subjects in my way and pursued the new style of character expression.
All my works are based on calligraphy.
If conveyance is the significance of written characters, this method also would be another state of it.
I will continue creating my own realm of calligraphy with following three foundations.
SENSITSU・・・quality of lines to form a drawn figure
SUMIIRO・・・sumi color
YOHAKU・・・blank space
