A photo of brush calligraphy (shodō). Kaisho style of 祖母 (sobo), the characters for the word grandmother, with red ink seal in the bottom left and top right corner.
As it was Mother's Day yesterday in the UK, I decided to practise 母 (mother), and then the word 祖母 (grandmother)!
Grandmother is made of the characters 祖 (ancestor, pioneer, founder) and 母 (mother).

on black paper and white ink or 2 in both yellow and purple ink

ストーブに かけた薬缶は 湯気吐いて かんかかんかと 空威張りけり
A kettle on the stove,
breathing out clouds of steam—
clang, clang, clang it rings,
boasting loudly to the empty room.

The kanji 平和 (heiwa), meaning "peace," painted with a Japanese calligraphy brush and ink on traditional washi paper.
The kanji 色情 (shikijyo), meaning "sexual passion," painted in similar fashion, though on slightly thinner paper so the ink has bled more.
Bought some proper washi paper and tried it out today. One of these is intended as a gift, I should probably keep track of which one

A photo of the kanji for world, realm or boundary, calligraphed in ink by me. My seal is in the bottom left corner.

I settled on practising this character because it looks like a person. 🕺
Not as simple as it looks.
Kanji: 界
Onyomi: kai

A photo of four pieces of Japanese brush calligraphy. Two of the pieces are of the character for horse, uma, and the other two show the characters that read, "Purify the soul/heart". All four pieces have a red seal.

Kanji that means "blessing" and "grace."
Zen teaches that blessings come from both external sources and our inner state of mind.

in toni morrison's essay, “the foreigners home”, she talks about the “deracing of a westerner. “ how to experience without the artificial constructs of racism and white supremacy. after the human genome project was completed in 2003, proving there is but one human race, this means the stripping away of the very concept of different races, to actively challenge the fundamentals our minds use to perceive others. for myself, after living in asia for 15 years, this perspective means trying to experience without european influence—revealing what it means to be marginalized, overlooked, stripped of identity or history, and exploited for others' gain. #sumie_art #shodô #sumi ink #coarsebrush#書道家 #墨アート #kanji #shodo #japanese #japan #asian calligraphy #art #漢字 #書道
