Message
This work was chosen to be exhibited from amongst the many FAN-BEAR creations by fans voting for it.
I feel very fortunate that the Dragon Bear was chosen out of more than 200.
One of the representative calligraphic styles that I inherited from my teacher,Tonan, is the 'Kyuryusyo', which is characterised by characters that resemble dragons.
The dragon, which also inherited her master's will, will fly high into the sky in Kyoto.
The work shows the enthusiasm of the fans for FAN-BEAR.
We look forward to the circle of FAN-BEAR expanding in the future.
