Randy McCall Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 Our dojo (a Canadian charitable non-profit organization, based in Windsor, Ontario) will be fortunate this August to host Nakano Hitoshi Shihan (6th Dan, Aikido) of Japan, at our yearly Summer Synergy event.In addition to his martial skills, Nakano-Sensei is also a shodo artist of some renown, having twice won the All Japan Shodo competition. In order to help us raise funds for our organization, he is offering his skills to create custom shodo art (on paper art plate or rice-paper scrolls) for those who make donations. He will inscribe any Japanese word, phrase or saying (ishii), within limits (amount of text and content); if someone wishes an English phrase or saying written in Japanese, he will inscribe the nearest Japanese equivalent.A $50 CDN donation will receive an 8"x10" art plate (stiff paper) with their desired text.A $125 CDN donation will receive an 1 foot x 2 foot rice paper scroll (suitable for framing) with their text.A $200 CDN donation will receive an 1 foot x 4-5 foot rice paper scroll with their text on it. All sizes are approximate, as (of course) traditional Japanese measurements for shodo paper are slightly different from North American standards.A charitable tax receipt will be given for all donations. Note that shipping / insurance charges will be extra. If interested, you can contact me for more information, or go straight to our organization's web page and contact our executive director, Kevin Blok. http://www.aikidocanada.org/(We have some of his work at our dojo, and I'll post pictures of these as soon as they're made available to me) Quote
