Kukai (27 July 774 – 22 April 835), commonly known as Sōbo Makoto, empowerment name Shōshū Vajra, was a Japanese Buddhist monk and founder of the Shingon Sect of Japanese Buddhism. His compilation of the Seal of the Name of Vientiane was the first Chinese dictionary in Japan and played an important role in the spread of Tang Dynasty culture in Japan. Another important work of his, "On the Secret House of Wenjing", not only promoted Japan's understanding and absorption of Tang Dynasty culture, but also was an important material for understanding the history of Chinese literature in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In fact, Konghai is not only deeply accomplished in culture and Buddhism, but also a rare great calligrapher, whose calligraphy shows the charm of Wei Jin and Tang Dynasty, and has the style of Wang Xi.
When he was practicing in China, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of China to search for famous relics, and collected many famous masterpieces, such as the calligraphy works of Ouyang Qian, Li Beihai, Xu Hao and others, as well as the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.
In this regard, he himself said that it was a "peeping bone method". Kukai's best style of writing is xingshu and cursive, which are full of variations, flowing and messy.
Kukai "Hyacinth Post"
Among all the calligraphy works in Kukai, the most representative of the cursive work "Hyacinth Thesis", which is named because of the four characters of "Wind Letter Cloud Book" at the beginning of the volume, is the most important and influential representative work after the return of Kukai, and is a precious "national treasure" in Japan today, which has been passed down for 1,000 years.
The "Hyacinth" is a three-way correspondence, and it is said that there were originally 5 links. The other two were dedicated to Guan Bai Toyotomi, and one was stolen and lost.
Let's take a look at the calligraphy of the 3 correspondences of the Hyacinths.
The most amazing thing about the first passage of Kukai's "Hyacinth" is its lines, which are spontaneous, extremely natural and endlessly varied;
The highlight of the second pass is its use of the pen, which is more powerful and powerful, appearing solemn and imposing, but the style is elegant and chic;
The third pass is pure cursive writing, its cursive is dashing and unbridled, fresh and unique, and there is a sense of white clouds floating in the autumn sky.
The three correspondences fully show the skillful and pure brushwork and Wei and Jin style of Wang Xizhi's ruler style
The Hyacinth Is Kukai's work when he was 40 years old, and this work can be said to be the best of all of Kukai's calligraphy works.
Today, we will make a 1:1 high-definition copy of Kukai's "Hyacinth Post" to restore the original style of its calligraphy and give it to all calligraphy lovers.
