A stroke of the pen is drawn.
At that moment, more than just words are born on paper.
It is the very “風（wind）” that will carve out a new era.
The work that calligrapher Iwasaki Shourin has created this time is titled “新風（New Wind）.”
The two characters, drawn with a powerful yet elegant brushstroke, are filled with a sense of dynamism, as if a wind is blowing through the still image.
The stroke of “新（new）” sharply cuts through the air, while the curve of “風（wind）” gracefully envelops the atmosphere.
It is this contrast that lies at the heart of Iwasaki Shourin’s calligraphy.

The thoughts behind “新風（new wind）”
“新風” means a new wind, a new movement or trend that changes conventional customs and old systems.
These two characters encapsulate the energy of innovation, sweeping away stagnant air and breathing in fresh breath.
There is a four-character idiom called “新風開拓shinpu kaitaku” (pioneering a new wind), which is used to mean bringing a new spirit to uncharted territory.
“新風一転Shinpu itten” (a new wind is turned) describes a powerful change that completely transforms the situation.
Both phrases are not just about change, but are imbued with a proactive determination to carve out a path to the future.
Iwasaki Shourin’s “New Wind” truly embodies this spirit.
While respecting traditional calligraphy techniques, he infuses them with a modern sensibility, delivering fresh surprise and emotion to the hearts of those who see them.
It is a challenge in itself to breathe a “new wind” into the art of calligraphy.
Poetry told through ink
The wind is invisible, but it rustles the trees, ripples the water, and caresses our cheeks, letting us know it is there.
“New Wind” is also an attempt to make the invisible visible.
The moment the brush touches the paper, thoughts take shape and will becomes lines that run through space.
Iwasaki Shourin’s brush does not simply write.
It captures the wind, traps it in ink, and then releases it.
