Kakemono Calligraphy Print "Create Justice" in Large Script

Unlike small-format calligraphies, this kakemono relies on a single, oversized script, whose powerful, almost abstract-looking forms fill the entire pictorial space. Here, too, the underlying statement reads 'Create Justice', but the realization as monumental large script lends the maxim a very distinct, physically palpable force.

The broad, rich brushstrokes leave hardly any white space between the individual strokes, creating an almost graphic, striking effect. This form of monumental calligraphy was deliberately chosen to make a statement not merely legible, but downright physically perceptible. As a print edition, this form of large-scale calligraphy made an impressive maxim accessible to a broader audience.

For collectors interested in the graphic and space-filling side of Japanese calligraphy, this kakemono is an expressive addition.
