Two-dimensional Calligraphy
Calligraphy

Calligraphy brings together the meaning of language and the movement of the brush. Through the strength of line, shades of ink, and the breath of space, it gives form to emotions and presences held within words.

While carrying tradition forward, these works seek a form of calligraphy that speaks to people living today.

Calligraphy Without Margins

Each stroke makes a landscape that includes even the space left unwritten. Rather than relying on empty space, these works fill the surface through the density and breath of the line, seeking emotions that exist before they become words.

Variations of ink, pauses of the brush, and overlapping movements take calligraphy a little beyond language, opening it to memory and bodily sensation.

Otherworldly Calligraphy

Moving beyond familiar letterforms, this calligraphy reaches toward worlds that have not yet been named. It opens an entrance to imagination between reading and seeing.

Bleeding ink and overlapping lines allow a presence beyond ordinary reality to emerge.

Three-dimensional Calligraphy
Sculptural Calligraphy

When the calligraphic line leaves the paper and rises into space, a character gains new weight and shadow. These works change as the viewer walks around them, asking us to encounter writing beyond a single frontal view.

Material, light, and the viewer's position are all treated as part of one gesture, exploring how calligraphy can converse with architecture and place.

Cubism in Calligraphy

By layering impressions from different angles and moments, these works rebuild the form of calligraphy beyond a single point of view. Meaning loosens into a composition of line, plane, and resonance.

Within the disassembled gesture, each viewer is invited to discover a personal way of reading and a new story.

Calligraphy of Light

Light is a brush that cannot be held. Through flicker, reflection, and translucent contours, it extends the temporality of calligraphy into space.

Changing between day and night, and as viewers approach or recede, these works are not fixed images but calligraphy that emerges through experience.

Painting
Calligraphic Painting

Writing and image enrich one another on the same surface, sometimes crossing their own boundaries. Through the momentum of calligraphy, colour, form, and narrative, these works gently open the threshold between seeing and reading.

Rooted in the sensibility of brush and ink, they seek a surface that can speak to contemporary visual experience.

Ukiyo-e

Drawing on the bold compositions, colour, and playfulness of Edo-period print culture, these works reconstruct its freedom as contemporary calligraphic painting.

Rather than reproducing the past, they create new stories that can reach viewers across time.

Art for Healing
Prescription for the Future

These works reconsider healthcare settings not only as places of treatment, but as environments where the mind can move toward recovery. They ask whether colour, words, light, and encounters with art can gently soften the time of those present.

For patients, families, and healthcare professionals alike: a place where each person can recover their own sense of self. This is an imagination of the hospital of the future through the power of art.

Shunga
Shungu Higa

Using the contours, printing shifts, and visual beauty of ukiyo-e as a point of departure, these works portray life and the body through abstract calligraphic painting.

They question inherited conventions and invite the viewer’s imagination to complete the work.

CI & Logos
Client Work

The background and aspirations of a company, place, or product are distilled into a distinctive character or impression.

The power of calligraphy is extended into identities, spaces, and media to create an expression designed to endure.
