Calligrapher Mr.Satoshi Iwao work Wooden panel "Wa / means harmony or Japan" JAC-IWO-412-10

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".

This artwork, displayed on a wooden panel, represents 'Japan' through the character『和』(Wa, meaning 'harmony' or 'Japan') expressed in gold, purple, and white.

Calligrapher Mr. Iwao said about the creation of this work, "『和』 (Wa) is a word that represents Japan. In ancient times, it was written as『倭』 (Wa).
The character『和』teaches us about the Japanese spirit and way of being: "Harmony is to be valued above all." and "Wabi-Sabi" – the appreciation of imperfection and transience.
Gold and purple are traditionally considered the most prestigious colors in Japanese culture. White represents light, and the beauty of empty space is elegantly expressed in this artwork."

Work size is 180 mm × 180 mm × 18 mm.
The artwork is a wooden panel.
As the back side features a lightweight wooden frame, this wooden panel can be easily displayed on a wall or other surfaces.
