This is one of my past works that was exhibited at the Third Exhibition of Yushokai in July, 2015.

.

I learned that it was a dreamy, fantastic poem, which intrigued me very much.

.

However, I repented a little bit when I began writing it because it is a very long poem and moreover, somehow I inadvertently chose a very long sheet of paper, that is, longer that normal kind of long, big sheets of paper.

I chose this phrase from the brochure of the Alzheimer’s Association Japan.

Even if you forget everything about your life/

Each and every person is/

THE main character/

This is my own favorite piece.

I like the poem of ancient China especially the last three letters, meaning the moon is near the people (or “us”, “the earth”, “the world”…).

Right after my first solo exhibition at the beginning of 2009, I was asked to write something by someone that visited it and I did this.

This person reframed it and decorated on the wall of his office.

I was really happy and honored.

I learned this Chinese phrase meant “for your beauty” from a very important friend from China.

She runs an international company that deals makeup tools.

I do hope she will like this piece.

These are for my dear friend from high school days.

I met her a month ago at a kind of a reunion and promised her to write one letter from her name 美 meaning “beauty”.

.

.

Actually, I am very grateful for her appreciation for my calligraphy, which is always encouraging for me when I practice calligraphy and try to create something new.

.

.

By contrast, there sure are some people who just don’t think good about my calligraphy.  Those people even won’t say flattering things about my calligraphy even though they fully know I have been practicing it for long.

.

.

For that reason, I knew I should have delivered on my promise immediately.  However, in actuality, these days I have only been thinking how I could make a good piece of the letter.

.

.

It took about a month and the worse thing is I only came up with my old idea, that is, a combination of a letter used at present and an ancient form of the same letter.

.

.

I sent her these two and the one put behind is my little, old piece with a phrase “fruitful, gracious showers” because she is　precisely that sort of good-natured person.

These are the results of the practice session today.

My weakest point, I think, is that all the lines, namely, all the movement of my arm are just utterly predictable.

This was the assignment our teacher gave at the last practice session.

I wonder what comment she will give me tomorrow.
