The artwork titled “SHŪJI” is my portrayal of Japanese calligraphy, known as “Shodou” – the art of writing. It delves into “Shuji,” which represents a foundational step embodying both ‘learning’ (Shu) and ‘characters’ (Ji), translated as ‘penmanship.’ This disciplined script echoes primary schools, forming a symphony of balanced strokes where lines evoke dance and harmony.

When you behold my work, you witness the life sources of Shuji channeled through this calligraphic form – a connection that spans past, present, and future lives. It’s a communication of embodiment, using ink, markers, and fineliners to fuse personal expression with basics, weaving connections in materials. By embracing the spirit of the Meiji era, my journey mirrors the essence of growth through art.
