Takaoka Ai is a calligrapher from Kyoto prefecture in Japan whose original, dynamic and compelling performances feature audio inspiration as an integral part of every character she writes. She describes her art as "writing with sound", a unique realisation of a traditional art form in which each stroke of the brush is born from, and intimately infused with, the music that plays as she creates the work.
On this channel we will post films of her performances from both Japan and around the world, as well as glimpses into her studio that reveal some of the intense preparations that go into every event.
