Miki Otake's Calligraphy 【Hana】 The Flower

Relation among flower.



This is Miki Otake's Calligraphy which I had introduced.

But I realized that I didn't introduce about Miki Otake.
So, first, this is Introduction about her and her calligraphy.

By using different expression methods in her works, Miki Otake has developed her own unique technique. Bringing her own unique style to traditional Japanese calligraphy, she succeeded to create a completely new world of art. In 1998 she received Mainichi Shimbun scholarship aimed at supporting female calligraphy.

Work recommended by the sekatu review board

In calligraphy, a category of special traditional culture, it is rare for a calligrapher recognized in Japan to advance to overseas. Miki Otake's calligraphy is distinct from others in that her attitude of looking for new applications of old knowledge and her energy to practice it. She has won a number of prizes as the orthodox school in Japanese calligraphic world that values traditional rules, as well as she is pursuing “progressive calligraphy” as the unorthodox – her attitude toward calligraphy is outstanding. We would like people all over the world to enjoy “real” calligraphy from Japan, not fake calligraphy


This is Introduction.

And this calligraphy describes figure of flower, force of flower, beauty of figure, and beauty of character "華".


I like this calligraphy because its color usage is so cool.
It is rather art than calligraphy.
