WORK
OF THE MONTH

Taigu Ryokan, Calligraphy

Ink on paper, with a box signed and sealed by Yasuda Yukihiko
24×43cm/123×57cm

While Ryokan's calligraphy appears effortless, each stroke is made with much precision and care. It was said that Ryokan would delicately lift his brush while writing. The essence of Ryokan's calligraphy lies his elegant flowing strokes that masks underlying strength. Embodying this essence, this work depicts "Hyakka Haru", meaning spring in full bloom. Enduring a harsh winter, the flowers that bloom in spring signify this underlying strength and resilience with grace and poise.
