All Japan Calligraphy Art and Literature Org. is an old school. Copying Chinese manuscripts is base of our study. I begin every day with at least one hour of rinsho. I remember my teacher scolding me for writing sousaku (創作, own composition) too often and neglecting rinsho. It is the only way to understand how powerful writing can be.

That is the reason why calligraphy of some of the masters is so hypnotizing. No shortcuts, only hard core writing. I tell you, this rinsho of Huai Su was amazing. That thing was massive, whilst the original is small. Creating powerful rinsho of this scale, given that the original is one of the most respected works in cursive script ever written, is beyond amazing. The entire event was a feast for the soul.

This one on the pamphlet looks like Zhang Zhi's writing.
