Understanding no Kai is a kanji that represents understanding the essence or meaning of things. The old kanji kanji for understanding is made up of three parts: thread, kanji, and horn. Threads are parts that represent connections and relationships between things, words are parts that represent names and words of things, and horns are parts that represent breaks and distinctions between things. This old kanji symbolizes that in order to understand the essence and meaning of things, it is necessary to discern connections, relationships, names, words, breaks, and distinctions between things.

Kaze is a kanji that represents the flow of air and its effects. Wind is a kanji that is related to many things such as nature, weather, and emotions. The kanji kanji for wind is an ancient character that represents the movement and shape of the wind. The seal typeface is composed of curves, spirals, and dots, and has a painterly beauty. When I use color brush art to express the kanji for wind in a slightly different purple color, including the background, I can feel the sensitivity and imagination for wind in my heart.

Kanji (kanji) is a kanji that expresses something that moves your heart strongly and that feeling. Impressions occur in many things, such as beautiful things, wonderful things, and things to be grateful for.

The kanji ``feel'' has two meanings: to feel something through the five senses, and to move the mind and realize something. In this work, I tried to express both meanings.
The importance of feeling things through our five senses is often forgotten in modern society.

A performance expressing flowers, birds, wind, and moon in their own colors was presented at the exhibition.
The flowers are red, the birds are blue, the wind is green, the moon is yellow, and each color has a symbolic image, and is painted with bold colors and dynamic brush strokes.
The performance used words and music to express the meaning of each color and the beauty of nature symbolized by flowers, birds, wind, and the moon.

I drew the kanji ``passion'' in the old font using color brush art.
Older fonts have thicker lines than modern kanji, giving a stronger impression. In addition, by expressing the thickness of the brushstrokes and the difference in shading, I expressed the burning passion.

*Old font refers to the kanji that was used before the new font was established in 1949. The old font was standardized based on China's Kangxi Dictionary, and after the Meiji period, there was a movement in Japan to limit and simplify kanji. After the war, official kanji and common use kanji were established, and the range of use and font of kanji were regulated.
