Yoshiko Sakuma & Ryokan Ara "Japanese Calligraphy Exhibition"
The Nippon Gallery
This event has ended.
This calligraphy exhibit showcases 30 of actress Yoshiko Sakuma’s works, which include works ranging from traditional to playful along with about 20 Sumi-e water colors and Buddha Paintings by Tendai-shu Archbishop Rokan Ara. As fluid and elegant in its simplicity as the traditional oriental art form, sumi-e paintings demand the artist to control exactly the width and intensity of color as well as the length and form of each line. If the brush rests a second too long a blot will form and spread. Each line is created by one single stroke of the artist’s brush. Therefore, the artist’s body and mind must be synchronized to paint successfully.
