Japanese calligraphy is an art that can transcend its simplicity and restriction to createbeautiful masterpieces. It relates to literature, drawing, and music. Though the beauty liesin such things as the arrangement, brush strokes, and the color of the sumi(ink), the synergyof positive and negative space is the most important. When a work has negative space whichcan express strength, insistence, profundity, refreshingness, enrichment, and warmth, itbecomes a masterpiece. The synergy of positive and negative space is illustrated by the works of such writers asRyoukan and Hakuin. As calligraphy reflects a writer's whole being, the synergy cannot becreated only through training and skill. It is created by the writer's spirit of life. The concept of negative space and ma in Japanese calligraphy, an inherent characteristicof Japanese culture, can be seen in many aspects of the culture: houses, gardens, silence, andyoin (a reverberation in the sense of an overtone; resonance) .
