KAKEMONO OF THE MONTH — FEBRUARY 2022

This month’s offering from calligrapher extraordinaire Paul Myers is a portrait of the actor Nakamura Utaemon IV portraying Bodhidharma (as described in the December post, the founder of Zen Buddhism). The original work on which this scroll was based was brushed by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, circa 1848. #ittendojo #shodo #aikijutsu #kenjutsu #iaido
