Work Details
A Single Flower, In the Heart
Sen no Rikyū once said,
“Arrange flowers as they are in the wild.”
It is not about replicating their form.
It is about recalling the essence—the subtle presence
of a flower once standing in the wind,
bathed in light, rooted in the earth,
living in its purest, quietest way.
Beauty lies not in numbers or embellishments,
but in what remains when all is stripped away—
in the essence that lingers, unadorned.
Only when the superfluous is gone,
does the true meaning of being emerge.
To be a single flower,
is to offer a space for all that one cannot say.
It is the silence that speaks louder,
the prayer that remains unsaid, yet deeply felt.
“Only because it is one.”
Keep a single flower in your heart.
It may be a quiet answer,
or perhaps, the beginning of one—
to the timeless question of what it means to live.

White and Black – A Tapestry in Ink
Born in Osaka in 1978, I grew up surrounded by the scent of ink.
My grandmother, a calligraphy master, often wrote beside me. Watching her, I was drawn into the world where words became lines, and lines spoke like words.
I came to believe that calligraphy is not just writing—it is the expression of one’s inner self. This thought became the foundation of my art.
In high school, I discovered the joy of conveying feelings through writing. Since then, I’ve explored my own path in calligraphy, teaching myself along the way.
In the quiet spring of 2020, I reflected deeply on the essence of calligraphy.
I began studying under Shoshosai, a calligrapher I had long admired, and started facing modern calligraphy—between tradition and innovation—with new eyes.
White and Black: calm yet intense.
I believe calligraphy continues to evolve as a powerful form of contemporary expression.
