Unity – the moment when people unite with each other

“Unity” means many people coming together with a common goal and joining forces.
As the words “group unity” and “unity” suggest, individual strengths come together to form a greater force,
just like the individual threads that weave together to form a strong cloth.

As you gaze at this work, you realize that the shades of ink,
the momentum of the brushstrokes, and the beauty of the white space all deepen the meaning of the words.
The contrast between the rounded strength of “団” (dan) and the flowing brushstrokes of “結” (ketsu) is as if to express the union of diverse personalities into one.

The aesthetics of connection that resonates across the ages

It is said that we live in an age where connections between people tend to be weak.
That’s why the warmth and strength of the word “unity” resonates so deeply with us right now.

The calligrapher’s thoughts are put into every stroke.
A once-in-a-lifetime moment where paper, ink, and brush intertwine.
Calligraphy is not simply the act of writing characters, but the art of giving form to the heart.
This essence of calligraphy lies within Iwasaki Shourin’s works.

The red seal stamped on the bottom left adds a touch of elegance and dignity to the entire work.
Such expressive power is hidden within the minimal colors of black, white, and vermilion.
