Dictionary of Japanese Painters & Calligraphers-SHOGA

 
Description

Sakamura Shinmin (1909-2006) was a poet from Kumamoto Prefecture. His heart-warming poems, many of which are easy to understand, have been loved by everyone from elementary school children to businessmen. “Nenzureba Hana Hiraku”, in particular, has attracted sympathy from many people, to allow the poem monument to be built all over the country and even abroad. This is a testament to the fact that the simple message, “Believe in things and devote yourself single-mindedly to them, and your dreams will come true”, has touched the hearts of people around the world.

Takahashi Yūhō, an expert calligrapher active not only in Japan but also in Europe and the United States, has put together this work with a soft, vigorous style of writing, which he hopes will be familiar to more people around the world. The character “Yume” is written in a large letter next to the word, expressing the encouragement from the Zen monk alive today, who wants to support the audience’s dreams. This is a wonderful piece of art, yielding a courage to live.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku

 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
