About Ancient Chinese Characters
Ancient Chinese Characters refers to those characters found on turtle shells, bones or bronze inscriptions from the time of “Yin” or “Shang” dynasty(17th BC – 11th BC), one of the oldest Chinese in the historical record. “Shang writing” is directory ancestral to the modern Chinese script. Turtle Shells and bones are often used in order to record the oracle between God and King.
Those ancient characters were sacred and contained a lot of special meanings.
It was a time when heaven and earth met through the ladder of oracle between God and King. Ancient people were showing much reverence and thankfulness to the nature and lived in it with harmony, accepting both life and death as natural cycle.
It is remarkable to know that there are only 3,000 characters initially that are the root of most of the contemporary Chinese characters, which currently exist around 50,000. As for Japanese people, it is fascinating to find out original meaning of one’s name that has been derived from these characters.

Message from TEN-YOU
[my starting point.]
The year when I decided to become independent, I went to the southern Island of Yakushima.
This island is designated as a world heritage. In the big-scale nature, beautiful lines were everywhere.
As I sat on the river side looking at character-like shapes in the clouds, a squall came down suddenly.
In an instant, the surface of the river became choppy, with white ripples. It looked like the figure of a dragon swimming, rising and falling in the water.
That lively motion of a line, and the color full of gradation of the water. Everything was so beautiful and so cool.
Anyhow, I was impressed.
And I wanted to make this landscape my thing, to fix it on the paper. How to make this impression reappear?
Will it be brought close to essence by calligraphy?
It is not a matter of technique but a question of expression.
This is my starting point.
