About The Artwork
Japanese calligraphy on paper. The paper is Chinese Xuan paper, which is renowned for being soft and fine texture. Sumi ink is made by rubbing the ink stick on the inkstone to create the best color before writing. Japanese brushes are handmade by artisans using goat's hair. The title shows the meaning of written words, 愛, love. The character of [愛](love) consists of three parts, [心][夂][旡]. [心] represents one's heart, [夂] for one's foot, and [旡] for a person looking back. Combining all of them, the meaning was changed as "heart was moved, stop the foot and looking back →heart was captivated", and then developed as "heart is attracted and adores someone". Since ancient times, "have a feeling for others" has been considered a precious feeling and important, and the word love expresses a feeling which cares for someone, and also strong emotion is hidden inside. The work is paneled, which is supported by a wooden board. Metal hooks are attached to the back, and ready to hang on the wall.

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.
