What is Air Shodo?
ことばで大地を踏みしめ 宙(そら)に全身で書く
書き終えた瞬間
黄金の朝を迎えるような感覚
一瞬で爽快感を味わえ
思い ことば 行動の一致で
思いを現実化します
Tread the earth with your words
Dance with your whole being in the air
As your pen finds its final mark
A golden dawn embraces you
Instantly exhilaration washes over you
Let your thoughts, phrases, and actions soar
Manifest your dreams
Let your visions come alive
