Current Show at SUPERFROG Gallery:
SUPERFROG Gallery once again welcomes Master Kihachiro Nishiura, and this time to present the art and prayer expressed through Calligraphy.

A new style of calligraphy.
The merging of writing born in the east and painting born in the west.
As I write, each stroke contains my deepest prayer for your prolonged happiness and prosperity.
Like moonlight in a dark night, I hope these calligraphic characters brighten up the path ahead in your life’s journey
and bring you relief and energy to enjoy life.

- Kihachiro Nishiura
