My friend Hiroshi took me to the Tokyo International Forum yesterday to see the works of poet & calligrapher Mitsuo Aida.
"The Here and Now" Mitsuo Aida
Hiroshi had already given me one of this artists’ books; “A Phrase By My Side”.
I was truly inspired by his beautiful collection of observations expressed through stunning calligraphy and Zen poetry. All the pieces are wonderfully translated into English by Tim Jenson, who, amongst other things, is a jazz musician...
To see Mitsuo Aida’s work, and experience this museum was an unexpected pleasure... I came away feeling inspired...
Thanks to Hiroshi.
Till next time... ‘Mela
