Shotei Ibata

Shotei Ibata is a Japanese calligrapher and performance artist living in Kyoto, Japan. He is perhaps best known for his public demonstrations of Japanese calligraphy using a huge (up to 6 feet long) brush. He is also notable for his work, "to move calligraphy deeper into the modern world of art.": Japanese calligraphy is usually a very private activity, but he would work in front of large audiences, holding many performances in a variety of countries around the world.[1] He is the subject of the book, Shotei Ibata: Rock Music And Big Brush, written by Ildegarda E. Scheidegger.[2]
