Chihiro Mori

Born in 1972 in Mie. I have been familiar with calligraphy since childhood, and when I was 17, I was impressed by the beauty of the calligraphy lines of the late Aoyama Sanu (who received the Order of Culture), and studied calligraphy at university. After graduation, I worked for 7 years at a private high school in Tokyo and Saitama Prefectural High School (Japanese language and calligraphy).
Since 2000, I has been creating art for domestic and international hotels, model rooms, etc., murals and logo designs for restaurants, etc., and illustrations for packaging, etc. Up to now, I have been involved in about 700 cases. Currently a director of the Yomiuri Calligraphy Association and a director of the Kenshin Shodo Association

■ CONCEPT
Pursuing lines has been the theme of my whole life. The line I aim for throughout my life is “a line woven by unintentional coincidences.” I think this is something that exists in nature. For example, there is universal beauty in “lines woven by unintentional coincidences” of rain marks on concrete walls, and “lines created at the end of smudges” of cup marks with slightly spilled coffee left on coasters on hot summer days.

I continue to study calligraphy and create works that are in harmony by superimposing various lines with universal beauty from a different angle from calligraphy. Furthermore, I am creating each series of works in the hope that it will lead to a world where people respect and harmonize with each other's ways of life so that various lines overlap and harmonize in the work. I would be happy if you could take a look.
