Sosekido

The school Sosekido (素石堂) was formed by my sensei, Unkotsu Komine (小峰雲骨) many years ago. I was 13 years old when I first met him, and it was the beginning of my long-time calligraphy path.

The Kanji of 2014 was announced in December and it was  (zei), which means tax. Last year the VAT  (税金/ zeikin) increased from 5% to 8%. This must’ve been affected Japanese people a lot and as a result, the word zei was selected. Hope this year give people a little more positive impression.
