In 1921, he entered the Sapporo Railway Training School and began to take an interest in calligraphy after studying under Kakudo Ōtsuka. He also met Tei Kaneko and Hanyu Miyake, who would later become calligraphers, during his time at the railway training school. After graduating from the railway training school in 1924 and taking a job, Naitei Kawatani and Tenrai Hidai visited Hokkaido in succession. They encouraged him to go to Tokyo, and he went to Tokyo with Kaneko in 1932, and studied under Tenrai Hidai. The following year, he participated in the Shodo Geijutsu-sha, which was formed mainly by Sōkyū 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 Kuwahara's interview and calligraphy performance in 1995 remains, and Kuwahara wrote "March 19, 1995" in the video, showing that he was still vigorous until his final years. #SuihoKuwahara #KuwaharaSuiho #Calligraphy #Calligrapher #Artist #FineArt #Artwork #Shodo
