Kyuyoh Ishikawa
Ishikawa Kyuyoh took an interest in calligraphy’s aesthetic possibilities as a child in Fukui Prefecture, where he was born in 1945. He has exhibited widely and earned recognition for his boldly original work. His thought-provoking commentary on calligraphy became available in English with the 2011 publication of Taction: The Drama of the Stylus in Oriental Calligraphy (I-House Press). It has recently received the Japan Society of Translators’ Special Translation Award for 2011.
