At
the age of 52, Dr.Handa entered a doctorate course at Tsinghua University’s Academy
of Arts & Design in China, In his commentary for this year’s exhibition, he
wrote that all of his Chinese professors were both calligraphers and painters
at the same time, which may have given inspiration to his free and magnanimous
style. On the other hand, his way of decomposing conventional styles or mixing them
using the bold simplification unique to Japanese art or the bright colors of Western
art often impressed his professors.
At the end of
the ceremony, he provided some message, encouraging his guests to never
stop doing new things: “Do not retire. Do not prepare for your own death,
because you will die if you are ready to.”
