​HASHIGUCHI Rintaro

​Profile

Born in Nagasaki prefecture. When he was a teenager, he was inspired by punk rock and became the starting point of his creative activities. In 2004, entered the calligraphy course at Fukuoka University of Education. While studying traditional calligraphy techniques and aesthetics, he was also influenced by various avant-garde art movements after the war. , Developing calligraphy as "the simplest art that can be done for free if you have paper and a pencil" and "energy for living born from everyday life". I write down the inspiration that flashes in my daily life in a notebook with fragmentary words. Instead of using expensive brushes, he uses a towel to write while listening to punk rock music. With a work that "verbalizes emotions" through physical reality, he does the exact opposite of writing "beautifully" by studying technical skills and mastering the technique of the brush.
