Or rather, not with ink itself, but with the unspoken expectations that surrounded working with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were given fountain pens at school and I found them fascinating. And I could not understand why the teacher and the other children were less enthusiastic about my experiments. In my world, it was magical to click a refill into your pen \u2013 making a hole \u2013 and then pull it out again and let the beautiful full drops land on the paper.<br><br>I loved the smell, the deep shades of black (and blue and purple), the slowness and thickness of the ink that slowly soaked into the paper (and the paper underneath). If you were quick, you could just make a swipe with your finger before the ink saturated the paper. It made me happy, but other people angry. That was not the only thing that bothered them. I preferred to write with my left hand, which made my notebooks stained and smudged. I didn\u2019t think that was such a problem, it looked nice, as if the letters were running. Nevertheless, I was always scolded and the other children teased me about the stains on my hand. Soon, I was the only one in the class who was not allowed to write with a fountain pen. But blood is thicker than water \u2013 and so is black ink, apparently\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"599\" src=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"Tanto Geisha - BudoGirl - Japanese Art &amp; Culture Centre Utrecht - Japan Fans\" class=\"wp-image-2867\" srcset=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image.png 534w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-267x300.png 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><figcaption><em>From the Tanto Geisha series, with ink stains.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New beginnings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2020. As a birthday present, sempai Daan gave me a sumi-e set. With some help from my friend&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jolijndewolf.nl\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jolijn&nbsp;<\/a>and a YouTube playlist, I ventured into bamboo, ens\u014d circles and a lot of cats. And then came the first lockdown. Inspired by my budo \u2013 the Japanese martial arts that I suddenly could no longer practise \u2013 I started drawing my weapons and the kata (forms) I was working on. Because of my autism, I\u2019m very detail-oriented and can concentrate well, so soon I had created a whole series of <a href=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/art-design\/budo-drawings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Budo Drawings<\/a>. These drawings were widely shared on social media and published in <em>Zanshin<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"654\" height=\"517\" src=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/iaido-study-mockup.jpg\" alt=\"Iaido drawings - Japanese Art &amp; Culture Centre Utrecht - Japan Fans\" class=\"wp-image-2415\" srcset=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/iaido-study-mockup.jpg 654w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/iaido-study-mockup-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><figcaption><em>Greeting the Sword &#8211; from the series of Iaido Study Drawings.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All those experiences came in handy when I started at an apprenticeship for graphic design. With the sumi-e set came a small book with sudoku-like boxed paper. The first exercises were to draw an open ens\u014d and that circle would later become my logo. For me, this open circle not only stands for mushin, the clearing of your head, and wabi sabi, the beauty of imperfection, but also for spontaneity and \u2013 because the circle is open \u2013 space to invite others to join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the circles, I also started to calligraph Western letters in the boxes. This lead to the <a href=\"https:\/\/japanfans.nl\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two \u2018Japanese\u2019 fonts<\/a> that I designed at my apprenticeship \u2013 and from these fonts also came the current logo of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/japan-fans-utrecht\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Fans<\/a>&nbsp;(my \u201cfan club\u201d for Japan) and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/art-design\/budogirl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BudoGirl<\/a>&nbsp;(my product line). It\u2019s great to see people using the fonts and copying the individual letters for their own projects, like menus for sushi workshops and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/japanfans.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/enso.png\" alt=\"Logo - Japanese Art &amp; Culture Centre Utrecht - Japan Fans\"\/><figcaption>One of the two &#8220;Japanese&#8221; fonts I designed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BudoGirl<\/strong> <strong>(the brand)<\/strong><br><strong><br><\/strong>At the end of 2020, I started with the Domestika course &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.domestika.org\/en\/courses\/1539-creating-an-illustrated-brand-from-the-idea-to-merchandising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creating an Illustrated Brand: From the Idea to Merchandising<\/a>&#8221; by illustrator Vania Bachur. I immediately knew that I wanted to do &#8220;something&#8221; with budo, but it took some time to think about what exactly. Because I wanted to make something cheerful besides the tanto geisha and kata studies, I started drawing myself &#8220;chibi&#8221;, with a wink to the anime\/manga style of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took some searching and puzzling, but in the end I ended up with six different versions of the doll. My sempai Ivo helped me a lot to get all the details right, and now this avatar, together with matching calligraphy, can be found on all kinds of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The line is called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budogirl.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BudoGirl<\/a> &#8211; after the nickname my sempai Piotr gave me &#8211; and soon after the first &#8220;style guide&#8221; I could officially release all kinds of products. In addition, all sorts of dojo and other organisations asked me for custom designs, for example for their Christmas cards. I also designed a hanko &#8211; the &#8220;eye of the dragon&#8221; as I learned it from Creative with Black Ink &#8211; and am currently working on all kinds of Japonaiserie for the second style guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"408\" src=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-1024x408.png\" alt=\"BudoGirl - Japanese Art &amp; Culture Centre Utrecht - Japan Fans\" class=\"wp-image-2779\" srcset=\"http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-1024x408.png 1024w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-300x119.png 300w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-768x306.png 768w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-1536x612.png 1536w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-740x295.png 740w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-400x159.png 400w, http:\/\/martinemussies.nl\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image.png 1811w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A shirt and a sweater with KendoGirl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The circle is complete\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now I am doing what made me so happy as a child. My little experiments with black ink eventually led to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanfans.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Fans<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.budogirl.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BudoGirl<\/a>. But like the ens\u014d circle itself, that influence is not a one-way street. As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus 540 BC &#8211; 480 BC said: &#8216;On the circumference of a circle, beginning and end coincide&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m getting better at calligraphy by practising a lot for my BudoGirl designs and sharing my experiments in the Facebook groups of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1784675568523650\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative with Black Ink<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/3889143161119576\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Fans<\/a>, where I often get very instructive feedback. And together with my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jolijndewolf.nl\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jolijn<\/a>, I could give a performance that combines sumi-e with Japanese flute musics at <a href=\"https:\/\/camerajapan.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAMERA JAPAN<\/a>, a large festival in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanfans.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Fans<\/a>, I come into contact with all sorts of interesting and inspiring people, such as calligraphy artist <a href=\"https:\/\/japanfans.nl\/exposities\/lanka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LANKA<\/a> and literary translator <a href=\"https:\/\/japanfans.nl\/interview-met-maarten\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maarten Liebregts<\/a>.
