Based on the neatness of regular script, I contrasted the gentle brushwork of 「春」, evocative of blossoms, with the large, flowing arc of 「風」. With an awareness of a lingering resonance like that of Kūkai, I used dark ink and variations in pressure, intending to capture the vitality and dignity of the spring breeze on the paper.
— Sakana NamazuOriginal (Japanese)
楷書の端正さを基調に、「春」の blossoms を思わせる柔和な運筆と、「風」の流動を帯びた大きな弧を対比させました。空海のような余韻を意識しつつ、濃墨で筆圧の強弱をつけ、春風の生気と品格を紙面に留めたつもりです。
