In reisho calligraphy – the movement and light of the seasons

I worked from Suenaga 末永 Sensei’s reisho 隷書 style of a peaceful and joyful poem by 6th C Chinese poet 陸瓊 (りく けい)Rikukei:

春風秋月恒好

spring wind autumn moon always pleasing

It was very likeable too brushing this on the large hansetsu size paper, lots of fun with a long tip fude. Some of the kanji characters are very different from kaisho and gyosho.

Contrast between kaisho and gyosho on left, with reisho on right

Although summer, it was stormy, changeable and energetic outside – much more like Autumn!
