Eruika Sumi ink on Japanese Misuzu paper, 320mmx240mm, pressed onto washi paper
Written in the Kaisho style, this piece brings emphasis to the strong final strokes of each character. The dramatic stroke contrasts the other simple strokes, creating a balanced, yet asymmetric and abstract look to the overall piece.
