Rin Honamigiri
135 × 35cm
Honami-gire is a copy of the Kokin Wakashu, originally a scroll. It is written on small paper measuring about 17 cm in length and 28 cm in width, and almost every volume uses paper of the same color and design.
Honami-giri is characterized by its free-flowing and rhythmic lines that make maximum use of the elasticity of the brush. This time I wrote poem number 10 in volume 459 of the Kokin Wakashū. I worked on copying the large characters while being conscious of expressing the resonance of the two lines and the dynamic atmosphere.
