My caligraphy works

ryuurui,

sorry if I am asking about something stupid. I can not read kanji yet, and I can not understand what is written here. But, seems that one character in central line is thicker than others. Is it for special?
 
Asking questions to learn is never stupit. ﾅｽﾂｨ - means "ear", but also, "and that is all" in classical Chinese. Every calligraphy work has its rhythm, and it can be created in many ways, just as it is in music. Thick and think strokes is one of the mediums. Sometimes, calligraphers write over characters that were mistaken with athicker line, too, although it was not the case here. You can see such corrections, here (see Figure 1 and 3): Wizards of ink: ﾃｧﾅｽ窶ｹﾃｧﾂｾﾂｲﾃ､ﾂｹあ (Wﾃδ｡ng Xﾃ?ｫzhﾃ?ｫ, 303 ﾃ｢竄ｬあ 361), Part III. | Beyond Calligraphy
 
Thanks for explanation. I very appreciate that.

Life is for us to live it not waste it. I was watching X Factor the other day, and got hooked on the hip hop tune Young Homie by Chris Rene, in which he told his amazing life story. Truly inspiring and uplifting stuff. So, I sat down with the song looped in my mp3 player for a 4h and wrote a few works. Hope you like them!

An short article touching briefly on calligraphy practice and its decline in modern Japan.
I also embedded a movie in which I write the same quote as in the movie you can see above this post, only with a brush. I also filmed it in a way that one can see the whole arm and its movements, since I had multiple requests to do so.

Practice your tecnhique and the brush will soar - Ryuurui Shoan
 
Wrote it two days ago.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." Albert Schweitzer

成功は幸福の鍵ではない。幸福が成功の鍵なのだ。自分のやっていることが好きなら、きっと成功するだろう
