​

Subversive SHODO at the V&A  ( Friday-Late ) in London
Japanese Calligraphy Workshop with Rie Takeda 
Featuring the poetry of Akiko Yosano “Tangled Hair”(1901)
​

There will be three sessions throughout the evening.
I start with the presentation, calligraphy-ing one of the Akiko Yosano's Tanka poems (Tangled Hair)
And participants can try out some basic calligraphy techniques and move to practising the calligraphy text featuring the poem.
After the session, participants can keep their own calligraphy.

*Experience in Japanese calligraphy is not necessary. Each participant from beginner to advanced level can discover and experience the essence of Shodo the art of Japanese calligraphy. 
The Participants can learn to focus on bringing the balance of mind and body together as well as a one's individual mindfulness process by special designed practices. So students can learn little by little how to concentrate on their own Qi flow, conduct and apply it with brush and ink onto paper.

18:45
19:40 
20:35 
​
- max: 12 people at each session

SHODO Kalligraphie Workshops 2015 in Bad Säckingen

Das Thema am 25.Oktober ist “Goldene Herbst”

Es sind dazu keine Vorkenntnisse notwendig, vom Anfänger bis zum Fortgeschrittenen kann jeder die Quellen von japanischer Kalligraphie entdecken und erlernen. In einer speziell erarbeiteten Methode lernen die Teilnehmer eine Balance zwischen Geist und Körper, eine erhöhte Achtsamkeit im Umgang mit Atmung und Körpergleichgewicht.

So erfahren Sie dabei auch, sich auf den eigenen Qi Fluss zu konzentrieren und diesen dann mit Pinsel und Tusche auf Papier zu bringen. Diese Erfahrung lässt Sie dem Alltags Gedankenstress entfliehen und zu einer inneren Ruhe finden.

正念
SHOUNEN

Zen word, Right Mindfulness

One of the noble eight fold paths
Keeping the mind alert to phenomena
that affect the body and mind.

Ink on paper, 40x50cm, 2010
RIE TAKEDA

______________________________________________________________________

My interpretation :
The right mindfulness is the balanced focus on
body, feelings, mind and mental qualities - both * in and of * four elements.
SHOUNEN could be one of the most positive energy indeed we can practice and develop.

 

  

A NEW COLLECTION OF

PAINTED POEMS BY RIE TAKEDA

Summer to Autumn 2010

Konnichiwa!


Yes -  all the new paintings are happily finished now!
Photographs are taken, frames are here.
So I am going to do the framing job for the new collection this week.
Do I like the new ones?!
Yes- I do! - They look summerly light and also very dynamic!
There are some works I experimented first time with the dimensional form of calligraphy.
I really wanted try to display the maximum effect both in visual and context from yet minimalistic calligraphy lines.
I must say it worked very well.
I am happy with the outcome!!


Please pop in and have a nice look!
I hope you will enjoy them too.
Happy hot days.
