Shodo Competition by Shukan NY Seikatsu

週刊生活上コンクール書の散歩道
NEW YORK, NY

— I am very happy to see that we received submissions last year from many parts of the US, as well as from the UK.

Shodo allows us to create beautiful art by exploring our sense of unity with the brush.  We must keep in mind the importance of our basic daily practice.  I hope many people will enjoy the beauty of shodo throughout 2017 and beyond.

The New York Seikatsu Newspaper hosts a shodo competition sponsored by the Hiroshima Artist Brush Manufacturing Company (広島筆産業株式会社). This competition is open to all categories of shodo art. If you wish to participate, you can send your submissions electronically to nyseikatsu.syuji@gmail.com. Please send images in pdf format (photos and scans are both acceptable).

— Over 1,000 years ago at Mount Koya, Japan, a monk named Kobo Daishi discovered the healing powers of the legendary Enmei herbs that have the effect of rejuvenating the skin.  I performed a large floor piece of calligraphy inspired by Mount Koya and created 6 canvas arts:  “Harmony”, “Zen”,  “Flow”, “Cherry Blossom”, “Harmony, Respect, Purity, Tranquility”, and “Moon” to be put on display and another 150 pieces to serve as giveaways for the guests.
