Unwavering Heart

Break through.
Rush upwards.

Confront a single thing,
And push forward with an unwavering heart.

The state of focusing your heart on any one thing
With your heart not stolen by others,
An “Unwavering Heart”.

When I created this artwork,
I was fighting alone.
I had allies who supported me.
Even so, ultimately it was up to me.

Continue something with an unwavering heart.
Strength, depth, dignity, abundance…

There are things which you cannot discover
Except by following through with something.

For me, that was the path of calligraphy,
But everyone wants to persevere in their own way.
To those people who share similar feelings,
And who are now trying to break through,
I hope my sentiments resonate with you, becoming energy.
