The avant-garde calligraphy movement they launched aspired to raise calligraphy to the same level of international prominence as abstract painting. To realize this vision, the Bokujinkai established creative collaborations with artists from the European Art Informel movement and the American Abstract Expressionists. They soon began sharing exhibition spaces with these artists at museums and galleries in New York, Paris and Tokyo.
