Japan, Calligraphy

I’ve had a brush in my hand since I was a child. I haven’t taken a year off since then, while I’ve explored the secrets of calligraphy. I’m still not satisfied with the characters I write. “There is no genius in calligraphy, only continuous effort. It is the art of one brush. The brush is self-purifying.”
