The World of Calligraphy | Works by Japanese Calligrapher Tsubasa Kimura
The World of Calligraphy
The form of characters, the meaning of words, and the tools themselves.
Beyond established conventions, calligraphy reexamines them to create a new realm that can only be drawn through the act of writing.
“The World of Calligraphy” introduces a wide range of works by Tsubasa Kimura, from experimental Bird Brush pieces and large-scale installations to special projects, calligraphy fonts, and LINE stickers.
Bird Brush Artworks
Calligraphy created using self-made brushes crafted from bird feathers.
A unique calligraphy artwork drawn with a feather brush.
What a brush made from bird feathers renders
is not merely the line written, but the line touched.
A line more delicate, more incisive, and more serene.
Installation Artworks
Works that integrate calligraphy with space, environment, and conceptual frameworks.
Characters delineate space.
When placed in space, characters transcend meaning and become landscape.
Calligraphy is no longer only to be read, but to be felt.

Special Projects
Large-scale and distinctive projects realized through commissions and curated productions.
Forms that extend beyond the boundaries of calligraphy.
Each project transforms according to its setting, revealing new possibilities.
