Biden loves modern calligraphy by Yabe Chosho for her fresh and liberal approach to this ancient art.  Her works are more like painting than Chinese characters.  The materials are so simple: just paper and Chinese ink.  It may take just a few minutes to create a final piece, however, each wonderful piece that she produces is the result of hundreds of attempts for perfection.  Yabe Chosho is a master of Japanese calligraphy having started her career at the age of six and has covered all the traditional techniques of Japanese calligraphy.  She now serves as judge to prestigious calligraphy competitions in China where calligraphy originates.  Yabe Chosho prides herself on a wide ranging repertoire.
