Japanese calligraphy on paper. The title shows the meaning of the written word, 生きる, live. The word "生” is a hieroglyphic character that represents the shape of grass sprouting. It depicts grass sprouts coming out from the land and growing upward strongly. From this, it gradually came to have a mean "to be born, to develop and to be alive" for people, animals, and plants. This is a work that can be read as 生きる "ikiru", means to be alive, or 生きろ "ikiro", means must survive. This work appeals to the importance of living, as well as a strong appeal to be alive for those who are tired of living and are in despair to live.

Japan
He is a Japanese calligraphy artist based in Kyoto, Japan. Not wanting to blindly follow the normal patterns of calligraphy, Wada aims at exploring the new expressions of classical Japanese Calligraphy that can appeal to our aesthetic appreciation even outside of the settings of classical Japanese Calligraphy. Instead of siding with Japanese ‟avant-garde calligraphy”, almost formless formative art with Indian ink, his works retain the functional aspect of calligraphy, thus being more readable and comprehensive. While those who receive the traditional training of calligraphy must go through "rinsho", which is equivalent to the training of dessin in the old art academies, Wada tries to free himself of his long training and draw joyously and innocently like a child. Even so, the lines of characters should be progressive but readable. He tries to realize his welled-up passion into minimal art. This is the calligraphy style he wishes to achieve.
