How beautiful. I wish one day to be good with calligraphy. Right now I am only learning brush painting. So great your works!

Thanks you, Rinai. Well, I wish I will be god in calligraphy one day as well. Perhaps another 20 years of diligent studying.

Ink painting and calligraphy are considered sister arts in China. They share the same principles (no retouching, abstract strokes, strong connection with natural forces, etc), the also share the same tools: four treasures of the study (brush, inkstone, ink and paper). Best calligraphers were also painters (and poets), as all three disciplines give them more "room" and offer more "angles" they can approach callligraphy from. I occasionally do some ink painting, but I am so busy with everyday studying and now also creating calligraphy related websites, that I have no time left for developing my skill of ink painting, sadly. Maybe one day I be able to.

So, don't give up and keep on studying!

Ryuurui-san, I do not know if you are Japanese or not but the writing is very moving and filled with energy. I like them.

I know it's a bit out of context, but have you seen the film Shodo Girls　私たちの子支援？I saw it on the flight home and enjoyed it.

Yeah I saw the trailer, but somehow I can't get myself to watch it. Could you tell me about it in three sentences, how does it approach the art of 書? I am a bit worried that those girls are too young to understand and appreciate this art, aslo, Japan is so commercialized that this movie may be a complete waste of time. However, I might be wrong... So, tell me, why did you enjoy it?

Hi Koji-san. What you said (especially the part marked in bold) made my day.

, as those who are able to feel it, are worth writing for. I am not Japanese, though my calligraphy teacher is laughing that I am more Japanese than some Japanese.
