Sumi-e Club is hosting Master Calligrapher, Yoshiyasu Fujii (b. 1963, Fukuoka, Japan) began calligraphy studies at the age of five, in his childhood home of Saga, Japan. He attended Daito Bunka University and studied under Master Calligrapher Shumpo Akashi, with whom he would continue to study until Akashi's death in 1995. While studying with Akashi, Fujii studied sumie panting and pursued his interest in the history, not only of Japanese calligraphy, but of Chinese classical calligraphy in addition to all of the traditional calligraphy writing styles. Fujii is the recipient of many honors, including top award at Mainichi Calligraphy Competition, Japan's oldest, largest and most prestigious calligraphy competition, in 1990 and 1992. In 2013, he became the first member residing outside of Japan to be appointed as a judge at the Mainichi Calligraphy Competition. He also is one of the few calligraphy instructors in the U.S. licensed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. (Cited from www. meitokai.org)
