Live Art Performance Shodo

Baikei is considered a pioneer of live art shodo because of his incredibly skillful brush technique. By bringing out the maximum potential of the brush with his skill set and extensive knowledge of calligraphy, only he can make shodo art come alive in such a magnificent way. As a pioneer in live performance calligraphy, Baikei performs across the globe (USA, France, Italy, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, etc.) to showcase this beautiful Japanese art form.

In 2013 Baikei was invited to one of Japan’s most popular news programs to perform for Lady Gaga, who was so impressed by his mastery of calligraphy she was nearly brought to tears.

Live performance shodo is an unforgettable and one of a kind entertainment experience for various types of events such as company ceremonies, weddings, and more.

Calligraphy has always attracted people from all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. Pure energetic youthfulness directed at creating dynamic calligraphy artwork is one of the virtues of live art shodo. Seisho has many talented young artists and performers who have been dedicating themselves to perfection under the guidance of Baikei Uehira.
