 Calligrapher / Artist 

Ransen 蘭泉

I was 4 years old when I started learning Japanese calligraphy.

When I entered the classroom on the second floor of the teacher's house with my red calligraphy set, the first thing I was taught was to open the sliding door, sit as seiza on the floor, and greet the teacher with a bow.

I think I learned not only letters but also manners and etiquette, such as seasonal words, how to wrap sweets in Japanese paper, New Year's decorations, and how to fold a traditional crape wrapper for celemony.

From Hiragana and Katakana to Kanji (Chinese characters) in standard script, running script, cursive script, and classical Japanese calligraphy. When I was a university student, I started learning kana characters and received a master's diploma.

I was given the courtesy name Ransen 蘭泉.

​

KANA / Ancient Characters:

Ancient Characters were found in the ruin for 3300 years ago in China. It used as the oracle characters to connect God and people.

Chinese Characters KANJI were imported to Japan more than 2000 years ago.  

KANA was transformed from Kanji to express Japanese pronunciation since Heian period. 

WAKA Japanese ancient poems were chanting to express their emotion,feeling, nature and Universes.

​

CRYSTALBOWL:

Instruments created by Crystal quarts produce vibrational overtone.and use for Soundbath and Yoga etc.
