It is precisely the act of pushing against limits, stretching them, bending them, playing with them, which leads to interesting artistic expression.
In other words, in order to push boundaries, there must be boundaries existing in the first place.
This is especially true of Japanese calligraphy. As an artform it is incredibly restrictive. The boundaries are clear and unequivocal… so it’s all the more impressive when a calligraphy artist successfully transcends the boundaries, expressing Japanese characters in a unique and moving way.
