Welcome to Keikou Web site.







I have been impressed with Japanese calligraphy for more than half century
Japanese calligraphy is a traditional Japanese art..
Nowadays Information Technology has influenced even Japanese calligraphy and it has been replaced by printed type..
Warm hearted hand writing is decreasing and I miss it very much.
I really hope that ordinary people , especially the younger generation will understand how wonderful calligraphy is and will be familiar with it.
So as a theme of my works I select abstract pictures and living words that blend with modern society
I want to produce a calligraphy that everybody can read and be impressed with, by writing in my own words as much as possible.
I want to seek a 21st century version of calligraphy and in this way pursue my dream.
