Activity
The calligrapher, Shinsen Kitakata, is a Buddhist priest of the Otani school of the Jodo Shinshu sect and is one of the representative calligraphers of the Meiji era who built Hokku-ji Temple. His real name is "Meng", but he used "Shinsen" or "Tsukiso", "Light rain", "Clouds", "Character Zen room owner", and "Kyoumatsukaku owner". It is famous that he traveled to Shanghai, China as a teacher at Higashi Honganji Temple, learned from the northern school style that was popular at that time, and introduced it to Japan. In addition, he became interested in "Epigraphy," a study of texts and pictures engraved on metal objects and stone carvings that have existed since ancient times in China, and later influenced the calligraphy. The calligraphy style was established as "freewheeling of the union of the swords" with the meaning of freely writing the book of the swords like a semi-cursive script or a cursive script. This made Shinsen one of the best calligraphers of this era.
私自身書道は久しぶりで苦手意識がありましたが、心落ち着く時間を過ごせました。一緒に連れて行った外国人でも問題なく初めての書道を楽しんでもらえました。金沢旅行で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました。先生が優しく、"心を整える"という意味が理解できました。いろんな話をしていただき楽しかったです。先生おすすめのお寿司屋さんもとても美味しかったです。ありがとうございました！
