The dynamic synergy between the fine arts and the martial arts are reflected on each page as ink paintings mesh with poetic expression. A nationally exhibited fine artist, Lisa Chakrabarti and writer and martial arts instructor Beth Shibata see these arts as they were traditionally used--as tools for enlightenment.

AND FORM

Harmony

Harmony lies between ink and no ink
contrast between near and far
balance between dark and light
choice between leave in leave out
What is captured and what is not
create harmony.
