Guide profile
My name is Tomohiro Oishi, and I am the owner of Atelier Sogeikan, which offers an Edo character-drawing experience in Sumida-ku, Tokyo. Edo characters were born in downtown Edo during the Edo period, and being born in downtown Edo means that they were born in Sumida, Koto, and Taito. In contrast to the samurai of the shogunate, who established the calligraphic style of ``Oie-ryu'' for the common people, the common people, that is, the ``painters'' of the time, had the meaning of wishing for prosperity in business and carrying the weight, while expressing a rebellious spirit. I created the Edo character on the spring.
Through the Edo character experience class, I would like to convey the spirit and rebellious spirit of the common people contained in the Edo characters, and I would like you to know that the characters were the wishes and thoughts of the Edo period. I would like everyone to try Edo characters, especially in the area where Edo characters were born.
