About this person
He ignored the traditional conventions of sho (calligraphy) pioneering an abstract style that reached international recognition. He is most known for his single character pieces that often extend beyond the oversized paper they were created on. Several of his works are displayed in the permanent collection at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
