In 1921, he entered the Sapporo Railway Training School and began to become aware of calligraphy after studying under Kakudo Otsuka. He also met Tei Kaneko and Hanyu Miyake, who would later become calligraphers, during his time at the railway training school. He graduated from the railway training school in 1924 and took a job, but after Shotei Kawatani and Tenrai Hidai successively visited Hokkaido, he was encouraged to go to Tokyo by them, and he went to Tokyo with Kaneko in 1932, and studied under Tenrai Hidai from then on. The following year, he participated in the Shodo Geijutsu-sha, which was formed mainly by Soku Ueda. After the war, while keeping a certain distance from the calligraphy world, Kuwahara, like his teacher Tenrai, traveled throughout the country to distribute calligraphy and worked to spread Tenrai's calligraphy (from this, he was also called a traveling calligrapher). Even today, many of Kuwahara's calligraphic works remain in various places. In 1972, he became a calligraphy instructor at the Togu Gosho (Crown Prince's Palace). He passed away on March 27, 1995. In addition, a video of an interview and calligraphy demonstration by Kuwahara in 1995 remains, and Kuwahara wrote "March 19, 1995" in the video, showing that he was still vigorous until his final years. #SuiboKuwahara #SuiboKuwahara #Calligraphy #Calligrapher #Artist #FineArt #Artwork #Shodo
