Calligrapher Mr. Satoshi Iwao work "Atsu-mori / 敦盛"

This is a work by Satoshi Iwao, a calligrapher who lives in Miyazaki City and continues to expand and pursue the possibilities of "calligraphy" without being confined to "writing on Japanese paper with ink and brush".

The work depicts the word "Dream / 夢" boldly written in powerful brush strokes, and a passage from the famous "Ko-waka-mai" dance "Atsu-mori" performed by "Nobunaga Oda", along with a fan and gourds.
Calligrapher Mr. Iwao said, about the creation of this work,"What is there that is not died after its birth?"
It means "Nothing can never die. It means "the rise and fall of the dead" and I felt that it expressed the transient nature of the world.
I painted the dancing fan and gourd, thinking that "Nobu-naga" must have danced while drinking sake and worrying about the world.
"Nobu-naga" may have realized his own mortality."

This work size is 520 mm × 518 mm, framed.
The work is painted by acrylic paint.
