Bringing the time and beauty held in calligraphy to the world.

01/ 03The beginning (challenge)

Why

Calligraphy, from letters to art.

01
Expanding the possibilities of traditional calligraphy
The spirit and fleeting beauty held in a single character. The value of traditional calligraphy needed to be reframed in a new context and presented not only on paper, but as art released into space.
02
Letting people picture the work in their own space
Calligraphic art is hard to convey on a screen alone. It needed a presentation that lets people imagine the atmosphere a piece brings to a home, an inn or an office.
03
Making one-of-a-kind commissions easy to begin
Listening to the client's intent, choosing materials and finishing the piece: the order-made process needed a structure that first-time clients could follow and feel comfortable asking about.

How

Ink and empty space that show the time held in calligraphy.

The black of ink and the white of empty space. Built on the light and shadow born of that contrast, we designed everything consistently, from the words and photography to the website.

01 Words & world

Releasing the power of calligraphy into space.

We distilled the brand's thinking into short phrases and composed the pages with Mincho type, fine Latin letters and generous white space. Photos of the works and of the brush at work convey the moment of writing.

02 Works

Showing each work as it hangs.

Works are shown framed, mounted in acrylic or hanging on a wall, so the texture of the materials and their relationship with the space come through. Each work also has its own detail page.

03 Order made

From dialogue to a one-of-a-kind piece.

Consultation, concept dialogue, creation, refinement and delivery. The order-made process is shown step by step so first-time clients can reach out with confidence.
