Yasutaka Kato

Artist nick name: SEIYOU

Calligrapher of fine arts

Place of birth: Wako-city, Saitama

Committee of SALON BLANC International Exhibition Of Contemporary Art
Experienced The Mainichi Shodo Exhibition
Material: Youmou (Wool brush), Sumi (ink), Suzuri (inkstone), Wasi (Japanese paper)

It's easy to become an ideal work because SHO is innocence and own expression in the white and black world. I'm trying in order to think by something idea-like mental= something which has no shapes and a head and express the one which feels and is being born= five senses by a heart. I'm working on work production while seeking beauty in the fantastic space of "Hikari and the shadow" which appears by a change in color of sumi ink.

Studied about the rudiments of SHO from Ono Seigo and Kikusui and learned educational calligraphy in 1981
Trainee Gokyou calligraphy workshop in 1992, and acquired a teacher license in 1997.
By Japan calligraphy college I learned geijutsu calligraphy and graduated from a postgraduate course in 1999.
