Ono no Michikaze

Ono no Michikaze or Ono no Tōfū (小野 道風, 894 – February 9, 966) was a prominent shodōka (Japanese calligrapher) during the Heian period (794–1185). One of the so-called Sanseki 三跡 (Three Brush Traces), along with Fujiwara no Sukemasa and Fujiwara no Yukinari, Michikaze is considered the founder of Japanese-style calligraphy or wayōshodō (和様書道).[1] He is popularly extolled in Japan as the "reincarnation of Wang Xizhi".

He was also known as Yaseki Tōfū.[1][2]
