Japanese calligrapher Aoi Yamaguchi takes her art very seriously. Born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan, she has been trained to master the basics of calligraphy by learning under the Master Zuiho Sato since at the age of 6. “In the calligraphy world, there\u2019s a ranking system, and you go through a total of 14 levels throughout the year to see how far you can rise,” she explained in an interview with 99u. “If you achieve the highest rank six years in a row, you will be become a master student or student master.”\n\n\n\n

The sound of the raindrops, the smell or air, and its warmth – spring rain evokes emotions that inspire our creative imagination. . I\u2019m excited to announce my collaboration with Canada Goose for their Spring\/Summer campaign of Nomad Capsule Collection, inspired by the spring, rain, and the island nation of Japan whose culture is intertwined with seasons. . ELEMENTAL SHELTER, a film and photography to celebrate the brand\u2019s Nomad collection in the spring rain, feature the sound artist and product designer Kouichi Okamoto and myself, shot in the wilderness of Wakayama prefecture and urban environment of Tokyo. Okamoto composed a soundtrack with his field recordings from the mystic forests of Wakayama. I created a large-scale calligraphy performance piece inspired by the spring rain. – See more on Canada Goose official website: canadagoose.com and @canadagoose.
