Daily Japanese calligraphy “mimizu” | 3.24.2026
==================
Today’s mimizu: “つぎ の すてっぷ Tsugi no suteppu: The next step.”

**This English translation is a direct rendering of the Japanese text.
Its true meaning goes beyond words and language. Please take a moment to reflect on what quietly lies beneath this work.
==================
[What's mimizu?]
In Japan, the phrase “letters that crawl like an earthworm” is often used to describe messy or clumsy handwriting. The word “earthworm” in Japanese is “mimizu みみず.”

However, Taisan Tanaka found beauty in this phrase—the beauty of living lines.

Earthworms quietly move beneath the surface, enriching the soil, creating air channels,and producing “black gold” that nourishes all life. Though unseen, they sustain the foundation of the earth.

Likewise, Taisan’s brushstrokes are humble yet alive. Soft, organic, and free, his lines gently crawl across the paper with warmth, kindness, and life. They relax the viewer’s heart, brighten the spirit, and naturally bring a smile. From this philosophy, Taisan created a new style of Japanese calligraphy in New York—“mimizu みみず.”

“mimizu” fuses Japanese tradition with a sense of cuteness and ease,
offering light, joy, and healing through simplicity. Just as the earthworm enriches the soil, Taisan’s “mimizu” calligraphy quietly cultivates the human heart.
