From the calligrapher

“It is often said that Chinese poetry is basic knowledge for the Chinese literati, and seal-engraving is the hobby for calligraphers. The Chinese literati have always thought about Chinese poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal-engraving.” “They put much value on their own style and peace of mind rather than their technique. In the same way, I’d like to pursue this spiritual connection with the Chinese literati…”
