Jakurin was born in a small town, surrounded by the sea and mountains in Fukui, where the rich presence of nature influenced her life and artistic talent. She has enjoyed writing calligraphy since she was little, often doing original designs and experiments. Her calligraphy is usually written in a dynamic style with sumi ink on oversized washi. Strong strokes, precision, and clarity of her characters are her trademarks.
At the request of an acquaintance, she once performed a one-shot calligraphy display at a party. The crowd loved her as she drew the Chinese characters with sumi ink on a 2m square washi paper with the performance of Japanese drums. Her powerful performance impressed the audience, and some people were even moved to tears. From this experience, she came to believe that calligraphy can create a warmer society. She performed calligraphy displays in various Japanese shrines, temples, and beaches, as well as overseas in Hawaii and Paris. Jakurin hopes to share hope and excitement with people, as well as build a peaceful world through her art.
