Description

This original calligraphy artwork features the character “道” (Dao / Michi) — meaning “The Way” in both Chinese and Japanese philosophy. Revered in Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and martial arts, “道” represents the path of harmony, balance, and natural flow.

Blending the expressive elegance of Japanese Shodo with the depth and discipline of Chinese brush calligraphy, this piece is handwritten using traditional methods: ink stick ground by hand on an inkstone, brushed onto authentic Xuan paper, a material prized for its delicate texture and rich absorbency.

Each stroke is intentional and meditative, making this a one-of-a-kind artwork that speaks to lovers of both Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, as well as those who appreciate minimalist, contemplative decor.
