Yuichi Inoue
was a
Japanese artist known for his vibrant works of
calligraphy, having been described as “one of the most distinguished calligraphers in the second half of 20th-century Japan.” He ignored the traditional conventions of ''
sho'' (calligraphy) pioneering an abstract style that reached international recognition. He is most known for his single character pieces that often extend beyond the oversized paper they were created on. Several of his works are displayed in the permanent collection at the
National Museum of Modern Art in
Tokyo.
