I am Rintaku, a calligrapher who runs the authentic and affordable online calligraphy class "Rinrakudo" and posts calligraphy works on YouTube and other social media! I also draw pictures on YouTube under the name "Dorimeru"! I write neat and elegant characters based on thorough research of calligraphy history, theory, and classical works. In short, I like to write in a traditional, correct, beautiful, and dignified style. To get technical, I use "Wang Xizhi," the most revered figure in the history of calligraphy, and "Koyagire Dai 3-shu," the most exemplary work from the peak of the hiragana period in the Heian era, as a strong foundation. I often write what I think in my calligraphy works. This work is written in gyosho (semi-cursive script) and hiragana using ateji (phonetic characters). ●For those who have trouble waking up in the morning. When you wake up, don't think "I want to sleep a little longer." You have no choice but to get up, so mechanically get out of bed. Look forward and move forward only● I hope that those who don't know calligraphy can freely display it as interior decoration in Western-style rooms or shops and enjoy it with their own sensibilities! Also, please use it as a calligraphy model. It is not backed (a finishing process that involves applying thick paper to stretch out wrinkles, reinforce, and make it look white and beautiful), so it may feel flimsy, but if you put several sheets of white paper of the same size behind the work and put it in a frame, it will look beautiful and neat. I wrote it on calligraphy paper with a dye ink brush pen. It is a little weak to moisture. Therefore, please do not ask a professional to back it. There is a misting process, so the characters may bleed. Due to the complexity of handling, I do not use calligraphy ink for the seal. The size of the work is A4. Please note that there may be an error of approximately 1-2mm due to hand cutting. If you are concerned about the margins, you can place paper of the same color behind the work. Please understand that it is completely handmade and may have slight stains or scratches. I will mention any noticeable ones. I think it's better for you to choose your own frame, so it doesn't come with one. It looks very good when framed, even with a 100-yen shop frame. #calligraphy #shuji #handwriting #penmanship #shohou #art #japanesegoods #interior #zakka
