MAEDA KAMARI

Calligrapher
Started learning calligraphy at the age of five, and graduated from Course of Calligraphy education, Tokyo Gakugei University.
Continue to write calligraphy, a traditional part of Japanese culture, through works, private exhibitions and workshops, with the aspirations to connect calligraphy to the future going to globalization and to the children responsible for the future.

Concept

To write calligraphy is "to engrave" calligraphy.
Since primitive times, mankind has engraved the character to animal bones. Engraving is the origin of calligraphy.
Then, "to write" words has been carried as the practical function in the East and West, while the tools went through transition.
Today, the evolution of technology makes the trend of calligraphy from "to write" to "to input" words.
Essence of "to write" is "to engrave".
And it is to write down the movement of our mind and thoughts as a character.
I'll keep engraving them,
as calligraphy.
and as Wood Print.

Background
I started learning calligraphy because I was strongly influenced by my parents.
As they were born during the Taisho era, they couldn't write words except their name, some Chinese numeral and Katakana because the literacy education in japan was not enough at the time.
They gave me the opportunity to learn calligraphy because they didn't have their child annoyed with painful experience like them any more.
Today, we’re passing into the world of "not write" words.
I want to find the value of "write" words again that used to be.
And I will keep engraving calligraphy to convey "to write" to next generation, and to the future.
