〜Power of words 2017年の催しから〜
.
In my message to the visitors at the calligraphy exhibition held in Poland in November 2017 which I was really fortunate to be allowed to participate in, I briefly mentioned “power of words” that is extremely intriguing to me.

2017年11月ポーランドで開催された書展に参加させてもらった際の挨拶文でも触れましたが、「言霊」はとても興味深いものです。

Songs of Japanese bush warblers seem to stand out among other birds these days. Here is another copying practice of my teacher’s work which I am sure expresses his mischievous side very well. This is a phonetic equivalence of a Japanese word for this bird. And I remember he loved this kind of game very much. We Japanese have a traditional belief in the spiritual power of words and here, it seemed he believed in that of each character and chose letters of positive, bright, auspicious attribute.

鶯の囀りが際立つように聞こえる頃となりました。そこで、これも先生の書の臨書なのですが、先生の茶目っ気が現れている当て字なので、これを取り上げてみました。先生はこのような遊びがお好きでした。言霊とよく言いますが、先生はそれぞれの字にも魂があると考えて、縁起のいい明るい感じがする字を選ばれたのだと思います。
