Two types of ancient calligraphy
21.4 x 12.8cm (muscle cut) / 13.2 x 26.5cm (joint colored paper)
I copied two types of ancient calligraphy pieces containing the 1093rd poem from the Kokin Wakashū. I think one of the fascinating things about calligraphy is that the same poem can be expanded in many different ways.
As the name Muscle Cutting suggests, the paper used for poetry contests has lines on it. Originally, the area was decorated with painted patterns, but this time I tried to recreate just the text.
I plan to use both types of painting as part of my graduation project, so I will continue to work hard to reproduce the delicate movements of the brush tip.
