Masanobu Hoshikawa was born in Shinjo, Yamagata, Japan.  He graduated from Hosei Graduate
    School, Tokyo, Japan and attended the University of Chicago Graduate School.  He taught
    Japanese language and culture at De Paul University in Chicago, Illinois.
 
     From early youth, he studied to  become proficient in the script, form and significance of
     ancient oriental calligraphy, later at the University of Chicago as a graduate student, he wrote
     several articles for Historical Journals especially on themes relating to Japanese and Oriental
     culture, its art forms, and ancient calligraphy.

     His work have been exhibited during “Japan Days” at the Field Museum of Natural History,
     Chicago; several exhibits at the Council General of Japan Exhibit Hall, Chicago; the Annual Ginza
     Festival, Midwest Buddhist Temple, Chicago, “Japan Days” annual Festival at Chicago Botanic
                                                 Gardens, Glencoe, Illinois; Hoy Poloi Galleries in Chicago, and at its Walt Disney Studios in
        Anaheim and Orlando.

    

    The year 2006 included calligraphy by Hoshikawa on the professional sumi-e art
    paintings and haiku booklet published by the author Lidia Rozmus which she later
    displayed in the public exhibit at the Polish Embassy in Tokyo, Japan.

    Hoshikawa has given his life to Sho. He is a native of Japan and a Master in the
    Art of Sho. Until now, Hoshikawa ’s art has only been available to those
    privileged few who have attended his live exhibits.  Now his original art
    work may be purchased by the general public.
