Brushwork of Ueta Hiroshi

Calligraphy has a depth below the paper.
Even when writing dots, the brush is sunk as if sticking into the paper from the tip of the brush. even writing just one line, we use the brush moving up and down.
There are things like the rule of brushwork"call HIPPOU" in this, but the remnants of carving letters on stones when there was no paper or ink yet I think that still in there,
And I think that the brush is a substitute for a sword for carving stones. It may be the reason why calligraphy was once called *JYUBOKUDO.

The breath is connected not only to the inside of the paper, also to the top (aerial space) of the paper. We say "don't stop feeling", "don't stop the flow". Brush strokes also exist between each lines, and the lines that form a character and the aerial space between them are connected too.

In ancient times, characters were using for sorcery and fortune. An ideographic character that has a meaning for each character has a strong meaning for an extra character. That's why I think heart or feeling couldn't stop stop in the middle of writing characters, it have to be connected.

anyway, we have long recognized that calligraphy are 3D objects with brush marks under and over of the paper.

*JYUBOKUDO- Writing "ink goes inside way" in KANJI
this is old story that the writing brush power of Wáng Xīzhī, which is said to be a Saint of calligraphy, is so strong that the ink on the tree infiltrated 9 mm.
