These three works were written by me the day before the earthquake that hit Japan. Since then, I could not find inner peace to write. Finally I am ready to go back to my every day calligraphy studies. I am therefore posting my latest works.
Great Buddhist monk Kuukai (空海) who lived in 9th century C.E. once said that calligrapher should be able to write with any brush. Following his philosophy I have tried to write with papaer tissues. I suffer from severe hayfever thus i price tissues higher than water, especially in March and April when the cedar trees try to kill me. When I was studying calligraphy last time, I had to put my brush aside and grab a tissue every minute, so I got tired with it and switched to writing with tissues. I think the final effect is quite interesting.
