1977年生まれ。奈良県在住。 1994年よりGroup文字屋所属。 日常的に“鉛筆”で書いていた新聞の文字を“筆”で書くことを発見してから、書が最も好きな仕事となる。漢字をたくさん書く「漢字シリーズ」、日常の出来事をつづった「新聞シリーズ」、人の名前など、身近なところから題材をみつける。 Juri Ito was born in 1977 and lives in Nara prefecture. She has been a member if ‘Group MONJI-YA’ since 1994. Having regularly been writing her journal in pencil, she discovered one day the calligraphy brush. Since then, calligraphy has been her favorite medium for expressing her subjects, all selected from areas close to her heart. She writes a number of kanji from daily occurrences of life or an array of names of people all over a piece of paper.
