Japanese traditional calligraphy

These pieces were created during Shoka’s journey in the Calligraphy Instructor Certificate Program at Tokyo Bunka Shodo in Tokyo, Japan, from 2014 to 2016. Each artwork is crafted using traditional sumi ink on hanshi paper, measuring 56 inches by 14 inches. Elegantly framed with exquisite kimono fabric, they reflect the profound connection between Japanese art and culture. Both pieces feature Gyosho style writing, celebrated for its semi-cursive grace and flowing beauty.
