Hugh Cann - Shodo Master of Hiroshima
A 17-year Dedication to Japanese Calligraphy





Wonder

175cm x 70cm

-based on the character for hope-

Nozomu. This is an example of zen 'ei ( avant garde). It is executed with one continuous stroke. However I feel the transliteration would be better as wonder. The structure of the original character is based on a man regal as he gazes upon the moon.

This work was awarded the Ecellence award at the 1997 Fuji-Sankei International Exhibition.
