He was a teacher of mine at a Buddhist Monastery. I asked him should I go back and try to correct that what I was working on. He replied, be whole not perfect.
I'm a miniaturist painter, and to see that Yatsumo brush left me in awe. I can't even imagine painting with something like that. Also wondering if something is wrong with me because seeing areas where the brush was dry and the paint did not go on the surface made my skin crawl like fingernails on a chalkboard. I have problems. Lol. Truly enjoyed watching this master create.
A moving portrait of a man with so much passion for his life and his works of art. I am so inspired and will watch this many times and learn. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for creating this insightful film! Just hung up a piece of his art on my wall. Beautiful and meaningful. The film is a wonderful addition and brings even more out of the art knowing it's such a lovely guy who made it!
It's one of advanced forms of 無 (pronounced "Mu" in Japanese) that can be recognized from its movement. The meaning can be: void, nothingness, limitless (as in 無限 Mugen), etc.
Great Doc, A lot of inspiration and some common feelings here in the way of being! Thank you! Also, Can anyone tell me what is the Black character at 6:48? Thank you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tmGq_jUmrI.html
Admirable work art,but this woman presenter she seems she shouldn't speak at all ;she is not polite about his work, but making funny in subtle way;she should be replaced with someone to know speaking and appreciating.He painting an ancient symbol with various meanings in many cultures.And each stroke of brush,and each loop, have meaning.
What a wonderfull attitude : “ every failure is just more reason for success” for me that seems to be a truly honoring of the dance of the living now - and beautifull demonstdTion of the red circle and the title “ miracles of each moment
Really well done. I found your documentary while searching for videos on enso & zen painting. Glad to have found your video and Kazuaki Tanahashi. Thanks for sharing.
Moving video, where slowness enters the soul of an essential and original artist and a profound and deeply transcendental human being. And…a friend who changed my life. Luk Darras
Inspired in this video tonight i draw lines and zigzgas with pencil and colours. I tryed to feel motivated and colaborate to the art in some kind of creativity.
Well done, what fine job you did making this. It was a very interesting and relaxing video with a lot of atmosphere, not only due to the content, but also because of the way you chose to film it. It was good to have some quiet pauses in the video, which you obviously chose not to fill with anything either irelevant or inappropriate. Thanks from Japan.
Ahhh!!! Some years ago I learned to play the lute (very, very imperfectly), and that was my favourite piece. I couldn't play it, but at every lesson I asked my lutemaster to play it for me.
When she asks what is the greatest gift you believe youre art will give the world??? ...my soul ignited when when he anwsered..many thanks for sharing this
I want to be his best friend and I would love to own one of his artworks. Maybe he’ll do a trade? 😉😂😂 I loved this and was legitimately sad that it ended.
Quelqu'un qui ne connaît pas les idéogrammes chinois manque les trois quarts de l'émotion. Mais il y a quand même de l'émotion devant cette danse du pinceau....
Thank you for making this film..very inspiring..love the name Brushmind!..nothing perhaps is more true than the words he speaks towards the end of the film.
