Calligraphy by Fukushima Roshi
Each year during his visits to Arkansas, Roshi composes an original poem and hand calligraphs it on more than 100 rice paper fans before his tour in the U.S. These fans become treasured gifts to people all along his tour. Click here to see the accompanying translation.

 Dr. Jay McDaniel, Professor of Religion at Hendrix College and a senior student of Fukushima Roshi, welcomes all to the demonstration.  Fukushima Roshi begins the first of 8 calligraphy pieces. You can see some of the results to the left.  Here and in the pictures below you will see how these works are created.      Several times during the demonstration Fukushima Roshi invited questions from the audience. One particular question generated the calligraphy you see immediately to the left of this picture. |
