# mukyo.jp — MUKYO (夢香) Official Website

## About
MUKYO (夢香, pronounced "mukyō") is a Japanese calligrapher (書家) and CEO of Mukyo LLC (むきょう合同会社, founded 2023). With more than a decade of calligraphy training, she carries a tradition of over three thousand years into contemporary work — from classical calligraphy rooted in the old masters to modern expressions built on a single living line.

Tagline: 「一本の線に、三千年の美を宿す。」 — "Three thousand years of beauty, held in a single line."

Her work reaches a worldwide audience through social media and live calligraphy streams, and centers on ink (墨), washi paper (和紙), and brush (筆).
