INK IN ART exhibition snaps No.1

03-08,2012

Hi everyone!
Thanks very much for coming to the opening party!
Arigato!
I just display some snaps - from the performance "Ink on stone" at the party.

The character on the stone is " KIZUNA "
means a spiritual connection between people, nature and cosmos.

The stone was so rough and organic!!
It was not easy to do any calligraphy on such a surface.
So I did have to controll the brush with special angles very slowly so the ink would not drop too much.
And I must say I enjoyed so much such an intense flow of pure concentration!
The result was amazing. The rough surface creates such an interesting deep effect.
I could not help feeling the energy of the stone as well as the audience during the performance.

Children's calligraphy workshop with " DRAGON "

02-01,2012



At the weekend I was invited to give a KAKIZOME workshop
with Japanese children groups in Freiburg.

One group was with very small kids ( 2-4 years old)
and another with 5 to 9 years old.
They are either Japanese or Japanese mixed kids.
And most of them are bilingual.
 
As it is the year of the Dragon,
we did the Kakizome with Dragon  "TATSU"
And I made an easy SUMIE of a sea dragon for small group.


They did it all very well!!

I decided to pick the word which is simple and deep - one of my favorite Japanese words:

Arigatou / Thank you / Danke

The word quell of Arigatou is from ARIGATASHI- is composed of two words:
the verb ari "to be" and the adjective katashi "difficult".
The original meaning was "difficult to be, or difficult to exist",
and then developed into the meaning of "rare" and thus "special",
- -* worthy of being thankful for.*

Buddhistically saying , Arigatou is being thankful for being given life and love.
Only later the use of Arigato as we know *Thank you * spreaded.
The adjective form appears in the oldest literature of the 10th century
* MAKURANOSOUSHI- The Pillow Book *.

Some believes that it is most positive and most therapeutic word to say for both mind and body.

You'd be amazed how many things that are worth of being thankful for!

I'd just like to say thanks very much for those who came to the opening party yesterday.

I was very happy to see you all!

- I was very busy all the time - so feeling pity that I did not have much time to speak to you.


All your heartful encouraging words will be transformed into my creative energy!

I thank you!
ARIGATOU.
