書道

this artist, soga takuji, had a show in brooklyn that i missed seeing. i researched his work anyway because it's working with sho-do (japanese calligraphy) & i've had a project in mind about calligraphy for a while. from what i can see in the little sample pictures his work is really nice. he's super young & i expect him to become a stronger artist and more known.
his other images actually have japanese calligraphy - this one reminds me of cody hudson's work some. i love the idea of handwritten text of the states forming the japanese flag...this idea of the connection between the two countries is something i think about a lot. (i could counter this piece with writing the japanese wards into an american flag...)
