# Kusho: Writing in the Sky

Shinichi Maruyama's Kusho


Since 2003, the Japanese artist and photographer **Shinichi Maruyama** - born in Nagano - lives and works in New York City. He generates a new remarkable art movement, called **Kusho**.

Kusho, which means as much as “Writing in the Sky” is in my opinion paraphrased at its best thus:
A human being takes an oversized, broom-like paintbrush, dunks it into a bucket full of more diluted indian ink - it's a special black colour mixing - takes position in front of a camera and wags the brush through air.

The so originated photos - exposed in a seven thousandth of a second - are plain amazing! They show perspectives and motives, the human eye is normally unable to see it.

[You can find more photos and infos about Shinichi Maruyama](http://shinichimaruyama.com/) and his Kusho at his portfolio.
