Chapter 63. Running script (for the alliance leader
What Higashinoji wrote was a very common word - youth.
It is written in a very common running script.
After all, the block letters are too correct, and Aiko Kijo and the others might not be too satisfied.
Cursive script was too artistic, and Higashinoji's calligraphy skills were not that high, so he chose running script, which is both artistic and practical.
To put it simply, regular script is too serious and cursive script is too fancy, so Tonoji chose running script, which is in between the two.
only...
After Higashino put away his pen, he frowned and looked at the word youth in front of him.
Generally speaking, running script should pay attention to the balance between large and small, the lines can be relaxed and relaxed, and the fonts should be dense and dense, so that the entire font looks comfortable.
In Higashinoji's view, the message he just wrote was undoubtedly a failure.
The lines are stiff and the fonts are fairly dense, but the fonts both horizontally and vertically show too much sharpness, and there is no sense of roundness at all in running script.
Although there is Higashinoji's personal style in it, it still doesn't work.
"Sure enough, I haven't written for so long that my hands are raw." Higashino thought to himself.
I have very bad hands, and I am not familiar with the softness and hardness of the brush here and the texture of the ink, so I wrote this kind of thing.
He groaned and without hesitation picked up the 'Youth' card and put it next to him.
This abandoned look made Kijo Aiko and Matsumoto Jun next to him stunned.
They didn't expect Higashinoji to throw away such an excellent work.
And he doesn’t seem satisfied with his appearance?
"Is it possible that I can write better?" Jun Matsumoto murmured to himself, getting closer and closer curiously.
Beside him, Aiko Kijo didn't say anything, but his eyes flashed, thinking that he might have found a treasure this time.
Not to mention anything else, just this calligraphy, Higashinoji is enough to carry the banner of the Kitajuku Art Festival.
While they were thinking, Higashinoji over there wrapped the tip of his brush with ink again and began to write and move the pen gently on the new paper.
The rice paper in Japan is a little thicker than that in China, so naturally he used the pen a little more boldly this time.
Youth is still the word.
Higashinoji wrote it down in one go, and seemed to have found some feeling.
Jun Matsumoto, an onlooker, could clearly feel the changes in the fonts written by Higashinoji.
This time's "Youth" has an indescribable sense of excitement compared to what Higashinoji wrote just now.
The word "行" in running script is reflected.
Although it seems that the font has not changed much, the stiffness and lifelessness in the 'Youth' just now has been completely gone.
"Can you really make progress?" Matsumoto Jun looked at Higashino in disbelief.
And then...
"Still not satisfied?!"
Watching Tonoji pick up the piece of paper and put it aside with his eyebrows furrowed, and prepare to start writing again, Matsumoto Jun finally couldn't help but secretly asked Kijo Aiko.
"President Kijo, are you kidding me? Is Higashino-san really the candidate you found in the studio? Isn't he the calligraphy contest winner you abducted from somewhere?"
"..." Kijo Aiko was a little confused.
She looked at Higashinoji who was taking action again, and finally turned her head to look at Asami Mamanaka: "Asami, you really don't know that Higashino-san can also calligraphy? You are his ex-girlfriend."
"..." Jianzhong Mami.
She didn't know what to say, her throat was dry: "I don't know either..."
Who knew Higashikata could be so secretive?
If she knew he still had these special skills hidden... maybe there would be hope for her and Higashinoji?
Occasionally Asami really regretted it, but there was no point in regretting.
The current Tonoji only makes her feel a little strange. Although he still has the same face, she can clearly feel that he has changed a lot compared to before.
How did you become so mature?
In the meantime, Asami sighed, but she didn't say anything about 'getting back together with Higashinoji'.
That's too cliche... and doesn't fit her personality.
While the discussion here was going on, Higashinoji had already stopped writing.
"This should be enough." Higashino sighed inwardly as he looked at the words in front of him.
Sure enough, I was still a bit neglected. I used to write two posts every day and it didn't feel too good to maintain my handwriting. But when I really wasted a month or two and started writing again, the visible difference was revealed to the naked eye.
There is no end to learning.
Higashino sighed and put the "youth" aside unsatisfied.
Matsumoto Jun looked at it again and found that the "youth" in this post was different from the last time.
The font is jumping and floating, and the simple square and round strokes actually reveal an indescribable feeling of vigor and strength.
If the word "youth" in the second post is too floating, the font is floating in the sky.
So this third post is considered to have gained a firm footing. Although it still maintains a sense of vibrancy, the font feels like a human being has stood firm, without the previous shaky feeling.
"President Kijo, Senior Matsumoto, how do you feel?" Tonoji put down his brush and stood up: "Have I passed your expectations?"
"Uh..." Aiko Kijo and Jun Matsumoto looked at each other.
Where does this pass? This has completely exceeded the expected line.
Originally, Kijo Aiko hoped that Higashino was a small electric donkey and could barely cross the finish line. However, he never expected that Higashino was a big truck and hit the finish line with no bones left.
"Higashino-san's calligraphy is indeed very good." Jun Matsumoto looked at Aiko Kijo with a smile: "Since President Kijo has found such a good hand, naturally our calligraphy department will not have any objections."
At first, he had some objections to Aiko Kijo not choosing someone from the calligraphy club, but looking for students in the studio.
But now that he saw Higashinoji's handwriting, he gave in generously.
There's no way around it. If it's written well, it's written well. If it's not, it's bad. You can't fake it.
Although he was still a little unwilling to give in, Higashinoji was quite good at being a good person. He kept saying, "Please give me some advice from my senior," which made him feel indescribably comfortable - look! Even such a big boss wants my advice!
"I would also like to thank Matsumoto-senpai for lending me some paper to practice with... Since you two have agreed, let's solve the vertical problem now."
Higashino rolled up his sleeves and said simply.
He didn't intend to waste too much time on this.
"That's fine." Kijo Aiko is also a hot-tempered person: "Matsumoto-san, please help me take out the vertical banner I want to write."
"Okay." Jun Matsumoto smiled and called up a few students from the calligraphy department who were trying to catch up, and asked them to help get the vertical banners.
Looking at these students, I also looked at the good environment of the Calligraphy Department - tatami mats, black columns, white walls, a dedicated calligraphy practice area, and tools.
Higashinoji also sighed a little.
Not being slanderous, not bragging, just telling a fact.
Chapter completed!
