NOTE :
Kusakabe Meikaku was the father of Japanese modern shodo and the founder of the Meikaku style. He was one of the most famous calligraphers of the Meiji era. As a member of the emissary team of the Qing court to Japan led by He Ruzhang, Yang Shoujing stayed in Japan for four years between the thirteenth (1881) to the seventeenth year of the Meiji era. At the time Kusakabe Meikaku studied under him as an apprentice of calligraphy.
