Kanji Ai - Love, Loving Kindness

The kanji AI, love, is written in a dynamic cursive style. This hanging scroll with a modern kanji calligraphy evokes a human who evolves, inspired by love and generosity.

The Japanese kanji AI is a fascinating kanji, a true pictogram of love.

It is composed of three elements: At
the top we have paw, in the middle
kokoro or heart, and at the bottom of
the kanji to follow.

The AI kanji depicts the imprint of the paw in your heart that you follow.

This calligraphy is mounted on silver color silk with a fine floral pattern. The hanging scroll has a natural wooden roller at the bottom.

I have brushed this kanji calligraphy in a very free and dynamic way. I wanted to invoke the immense power of love. The brush strokes have created a magic diagram, like a spell, that makes things happen.

The kanji love is written in cursive script and mounted on silver silk brocade. I chose the silver silk in honour of the silver moon, the celestial being of loving energy.
