In
1990, while living in Tokyo (Japan), Ranna invented ei-shodou
("ei" = English; shodou = Japanese calligraphy)
alphabet calligraphy. She has periodically continued to explore
this innovation in several series of artwork.
In these pieces she used her signature Shimmer Art
technique.

Ranna's Contemporary
Ei-Shodõ art fresco tablets
In
her Shimmer Ei-Shodõ Fresco
series, Ranna created contemporary ei-shodou art fresco
tablets of English language translations of each of the
20 verses of the Zen text, the Genjoukoan. Created
in Ranna's proprietary Shimmer Art™ method, these
ei-shodou art fresco tablets bear ei-shodou transcriptions
of the Zen verses. Inscribed on fresco tablets created in
a "found" method devised by Ranna to access raw iron oxides,
the result is a successful synthesis of contemporary art
with Western fresco techniques and Asian shodou art techniques
