Giant Brush Calligraphy in Calgary Shrine Lanterns

by Reese Wood

Soft, diffused light from low-hanging clouds fills a shrine space lined with rows of red and gold paper lanterns. A calligrapher stands center frame, wielding a giant brush with a long bamboo handle against a massive sheet of white rice paper laid on a low wooden table. The brush bristles are dark with ink, poised to make contact with the paper. Behind the figure, traditional wooden pillars support the structure, while the turn of seasons is visible through the muted green and brown tones of the few plants in the corners. The wet sheen of recent rain rests on the glass windows framing the space. Ink pools slightly at the tip of the brush, reflecting the soft ambient light, while the texture of the rough paper absorbs the moisture.
