Painting calligrapher
Kazuki Ito
【GREETING】
Thank you for visiting this website out of all the information. Self-studying calligraphy and painting, in the days of repeating fumbling and practice, I named the style that I have created by self-study [Kokoro no Shoga Ⓡ] and I am working on it.

Profile
Ito Kazuki / 伊藤 一樹
Tourism ambassador of Ena City, Gifu Prefecture. Born in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture. Lives in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture.
With no experience in calligraphy or painting, he began to study calligraphy and painting on his own. He named his unique style [心の書画 Ⓡ] and has continued his current activities. The powerful calligraphic style and pictures without corners have earned a reputation as ``calligraphy and painting where gentleness and strength coexist''.
A few years ago, I developed a severe panic disorder. After fighting illness for many years, he continues to explore calligraphy and painting styles that are not confined to frameworks, and continues to build his own worldview.
In recent years, including calligraphy and dedication at the Heisei Grand Repair Completion Ceremony held at Ise Jingu (Naiku), Izumo Taisha, and World Heritage Nikko Toshogu, he has also contributed calligraphy and paintings to other shrines and temples.
He also held solo exhibitions at Nagoya Castle Honmaru Goten and Atsuta Shrine. His activities are wide-ranging, including giving lectures at educational institutions and companies, and writing lyrics for choruses.
