Katsunobu Kawahito (a Japanese-style painter) and Kakushou Kametani (a calligrapher) create many works together, because they understand each other’s feelings very well, as fellow artists.

In this work, the movement of the characters and the flow of the morning glories look as if their hearts beat in unison. These characters are an original poem of Kametani’s. Many plants actively grow in summer. Kametani expresses the state of many plants in this poem with his lively style of handwriting. Katsunobu Kawahito also expresses the rapid growth of the morning glories with quick brushwork and a minimum of detail, and we can feel the strength of their growth. This is an impressive work in which two artists express the strong growth of a plant in summer.
