Miki Otake's Calligraphy, "HANA" The Flower

Hi!

My first presentation about Japanese cultural products is Calligraphy.

This is Miki Otake's Calligraphy, "HANA" The Flower.



This image looks like a flower -like a tulip or lotus.

But it is a kind of Chinese letter -花-.

It means flower.



Some of you thought " Is this a image of flower, isn't it?"

I thought it, too, in my first impression.

But I gazed it, I realized it is a letter.

I was astonished so much.



I had had a image that Calligraphy describes only shape of letter in monochromatic.

But this picture is different from my last image.

Seeing it, I could not think about it any more.

My prejudice was completely broken.



It describes a shape of object which is meant by the letter.

She used thick and thin line.

And the color of ink is very delicate.



Surely, this is an art !!!
