As High as a Mountain and Endless as a River Current (Sankō suichō)

Characteristic feature of pure art calligraphy is its quality of fluid rhythm, which corresponds to the calligraphic breath that in one flawless motion transposes a thought into a character. Kenryū Miyake composed here a work encapsulating the principle of infinity and transformation in the classic vertical format of a hanging scroll. Master Kenryū is rightly ranked among the great masters of modern calligraphy, he is known for his calligraphies in kōkotsumoji style, suggestive of characters on ancient Chinese oracle bones.
