    I moved into the studio in April this year, and have spent the last 7 months creating the new furniture for the studio in collaboration with my sister, Yui Yamaguchi who’s trained in industrial design and woodworking in Japan, to make this vision come true – a space that functions as my art studio, showroom and a workshop. People can learn, create and share the beauty of Japanese calligraphy, combining traditional and modern methods in the a tranquil and nurturing space. I designed the space inspired by the calligraphy school where I studied Japanese calligraphy throughout my childhood, and the nature of my hometown Hokkaido, embracing the warmth of wood highlighting the beauty of its grains and natural edges. I will keep working on updating the studio space in the coming months, but I’d love to open the door and share where I’m at now before the end of the year of 2024.

    I will have a selected series of art pieces from the past and new collections, prints and stationaries will be available for sale just in time for the holidays, and you can learn more about and sign up for upcoming classes in 2025. Please RSVP from the button below – I look forward to seeing you![/vc_column_text][rs_special_text tag=”h4″]

    BAMPFA - Breath

    I’m excited to announce my upcoming large-scale live calligraphy performance at Berkeley Art Museum Pacific Film Archive on Oct 15th, themed in “Breath“. FULL is a series of varied performances at BAMPFA celebrating every full moon cycle. Curated by Shinichi lova-Koga, various artists performing contemplating the theme “breath” in celebration of full moon.

    This performance is designed site-specific to the newly renovated, stunning structure of the atrium in the museum. I’d like to present a multi-layered large-scale Japanese calligraphy performance, accompanied by sublime sounds composed by a Tokyo-based sound artist Corey Fuller (ILLUHA/ 12K). This 23-minutes sound journey is Fuller’s artistic interpretation of my calligraphic movements, resonance of shadows; and this will be the first time presenting to the public.

    Supported by numbers of talented spirits, featuring assistant performers Yang Yang, Yawen Zou, Ziyu Zhou, and Chelsea Ortiz; ink vase installation in collaboration with Studio Sen; team Awakening Moon: Aprille Tang, Zon Chu, Andrej Hronco and Yukina Yamamoto. Hair & make in collaboration with Aki Masuoka, Yui Yamaguchi.
