To add paint and color to a Japanese calligraphy piece is not an option. The color and images would distract from the meaning of the thick-black-lines, pulling the reader away from the message and its simplicity . It’s like looking at your shadow, severed into dots and rhythms.

So why do we distract the integrity of our own words with flash, pomp and lies? Adding colors and flares to the simplest gestures. And why do the images we’re presented lead us through tunnels so numerous, there’s one for every cell of our being, and any part of us we’d risk down the drain, just because we’re afraid of missing out.
