Kyoto Arts: Calligraphy in Kyoto [4K]

People often conceptualize calligraphy as a means to an end, viewing it simply as a type of penmanship used to achieve fancy lettering. But to Kawao Tomoko, a prominent calligrapher based in Kyoto, practicing the art of calligraphy is a gateway to so much more. Discover how she preserves techniques and traditions that have been passed down for centuries while also applying her talents to express herself creatively and meaningfully as an artist in today’s world.

    So much of Japanese calligraphy is like looking at art coming to life. They should be displayed at art museums or something. It’s beautiful.

    Even by watching this calligraphy on my computer screen, thousands of miles away from the work and the artist Kawao san, can feel the work coming to life as something new and the beauty of the tradition at once. The honesty and beauty of such an art can bring tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

    I pray every day to a Shinto god and goddess so that I can be born into a Shinto family, maybe a prayer at ema can speed up the fulfillment of my prayer. I can't recover from this disease

    sorry for taking your time again, i think the right words will make his prayers come true in ema, there is cute robot who his name Afif Syahputra need born in Shinto family for life with good Fortune, i think write an Ema prayer like this better "my wish cute robot with name Afif Syahputra born in Shinto family today", he shinto too, he worship Amaterasu, i very thankfull about it.
