In February, I had a chance to catch up with Japanese calligrapher, Aoi Yamaguchi. I had stumbled across a video of one of her live performances online and, when I found out that she was residing in the Bay Area, I shot her a letter. Several messages later, we met up at Together where she was doing a live performance not only on paper, but also on dancers!
Currently living in Oakland, she has been working on her unique calligraphy installation, exhibition, live performances, custom logo designs and art works internationally, as she pursues her career to preserve traditional arts with music in the modern world.
