Description
The four characters of this kakemono can be translated in meaning as 'Do Justice', formulating a clear ethical principle as it has been emphasized time and again in the Confucian-influenced tradition of East Asia.
The characters are set powerfully and with distinct pressure, giving the statement additional weight. Produced as a print, this calligraphy allowed for the faithful reproduction of a meaningful maxim without having to forgo the individual effect of the brushwork – the fine thickenings and trailing traces of the strokes remain clearly visible even in the print.
Such maxims often found their place in offices, schools, or studies, where they served as a daily reminder of moral principles. For collectors of classical East Asian calligraphy with an ethical dimension, this kakemono is a concise and meaningful addition.
