Thanks ryuhebi13, glad you enjoy it.

@Chess.

I am preparing myself for Buddhist sutra copying, so I bought a blue paper and silver ink. Naturally I could not help having a bit of fun with those. Below are few works from yesterday.

Thanks Dogsbody. Indeed, sutra copying is very mind soothing, though really difficult. Characters are extremely small (1-2 cm) and also they need to be perfectly aligned.

Here is one more in silver ink. I gave a size reference to a Polish coin (17,5mm in diameter). This calligraphy is written with a small brush made of weasel hair (highly responsive tip), with hanging arm technique (entire arm lifted) and kana script brush grip (by the end of the brush axis) for maximum freedom of movement. It is also written in one continuous brush stroke. The signature characters are smaller than 1cm.

your arm is broken actually the arm doesn't move, just hangs in the air and its bleeding heavy, the movement comes from the wrist.

It's the feather brush used here also? Seems like the strokes are similar to the one posted a few days back.

No, this work was written with 羊毛筆 i.e. wool brush (goat hair). it's a very soft brush and it also produces streaks of white (kasure) though the line is more consistent than the one done by a feathyer brush.
