earthling熊蟄穴 When bears begin to hibernate
The Japanese year used to be divided into 72 "micro-seasons". These seasons were based on natural events such as the weather and the appearance of various plants and animals.
Next week is the start of 熊蟄穴.
The kanji:
熊 = bear
蟄 = hibernation
穴 = hole, den
= the time when bears start their winter sleep in their dens.

LaurabunnyThere can be beauty in death, bittersweet as it may be. A death surrounded by family, music, memories—love.
A piece inspired by a new friend. Mixed Japanese calligraphy and Latin #calligraphy. India ink on parchment-textured paper.
Poetry is my own. I am a student of the Japanese language, pardon awkward poetry—at the very least I expect I've rather unceremoniously mixed classical and modern Japanese.

Jill StrongClothes horse full of kanji.
These are for a friend's end of school year dance performance; painted on sheets of white fake leather, they're flexible enough to stand being whirled around.
We added the red marks so her pupils can easily get them the rightway round :-)

Have some season-appropriate #calligraphy, y'all!
This is a poem composed by MATSUO Bashō in the spring of 1691 (English translation by OSEKO Toshiharu):
不精さや掻き起されし春の雨
bushōsa ya / kakiokosareshi / haru no ame
My laziness! / Awakened from idle slumber. / The rain of spring. ( Toshiharu Oseko)

A little calligraphy practise for tonight. =3 It's the text to "Akatonbo" (Red Dragonfly) by MIKI Rikū, set to music by YAMADA Kōsaku in the early 20th century. Today, "Akatonbo" is a well-known children's song (and art song!), nostalgic and bittersweet in character. https://helloprolyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Akatonbo

Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)
A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"
In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.
