for 3 years in Artvin Yusufeli, the closest town to Erzurum. By<br />
saying “Love does not stay still, it directs me somewhere.”<br />
he explains how he cannot stay away from the love of calligraphy;<br />
he is not in Istanbul, though. Because of Yusufeli`s<br />
being a little town, there was no big change in Celebi’s life<br />
in terms of calligraphy. The things he did at those times were<br />
preparing oil colored pictures for traders and trying to keep<br />
writing by copying variety of different calligraphies.<br />
Getting Closer To The Arranged Time<br />
After three years, Mr. Celebi moved to Istanbul again. His<br />
milieu was Uskudar again. Although he did not sit before a<br />
teacher to learn new methods of calligraphy, he kept writing<br />
on his own. While the completed writings were being put<br />
on the shelves as to get soothed, there was always a new<br />
paper on the table and there would always be new writings<br />
to be written in the near future.<br />
Surah Al-Insán, verse 21, written in the Jeli Thuluth script<br />
Efendi in 1964. “Sukru Efendi used to have our friends read<br />
Buhari. 4 We went to him with a friend.” says Celebi with a<br />
nice smile on his face. “My friend introduced me as a calligrapher.<br />
Yet I even did not know how to hold the pencil correctly.<br />
As my friend was inferior to me in calligraphic knowledge,<br />
he reckoned that my writings were masterpieces; therefore<br />
he introduced me as a calligrapher. Afterwards, Sukru Efendi<br />
looked at my writings and said ‘My son, this process cannot<br />
be taken without a teacher.’ But it was impossible to find<br />
one and have him educate me!”<br />
Hasan Celebi explains meaningfully how he follows the track<br />
of this love in a certain and an uninterrupted way: “People<br />
invent such things that you will try to discover its essence<br />
and fail to understand it for years. Calligraphers running behind<br />
this curve for four hundred years could not reach the<br />
outcome.”<br />
While days were passing in that manner, one of Celebi’s<br />
friends helped him; he talked about a significant person<br />
named Sukru Efendi who is an imam in Toygar Mosque. After<br />
ten years from his first visit to Istanbul, they go to Sukru<br />
A Day After Rain<br />
Hasan Celebi followed Buhari courses awhile that Sukru<br />
Efendi gives. There is a stonemason,on the way whose name<br />
is Yusuf Efendi, he takes Hasan Celebi to Sukru Efendi. Like<br />
