presentation
Thanks to a Pointillist style, Misaki TSUCHIYA succeeds in displaying a wide range of shades with black ink. She mostly creates horoscopes and wishes to spread the aesthetic and the sensibility of this calligraphy form across the world. Her works don’t follow strict rules but rather expose strokes drawn according to different angles.
This year, she will come to the festival to present you her work at the WABI SABI area alongside many craftsmen eager to show you the wealth of Japanese folklore!
A word on the art of calligraphy
Calligraphy appeared in Japan more than 1200 years ago. This art consists in expressing letters estheticism as well as the meaning of words with a paintbrush and India ink. Calligraphers traditionally paint on washi, which is a type of hand-crafted paper that has been produced in Japan since the 7th century. However, we can now encounter a wide range of calligraphic expressions: some artists mix this art with digital technology, use paint instead of ink, or draw on various materials such as fabrics, wood, leather or glass.
