While Seiiti Sirai was an architect, he spent alot of time practicing calligraphy in his last years. Comparing the features of this activity with his theory of tradition, it can be said that both of his intentions are similar. In addition to the commonality of attaching importance to "utility" according to the theory of tradition, the concept of grasping the inner potential of an object without being misled by its external form and source, can be realized by the "ascetic practices," which can make something exceed consciousness and form by practicing calligraphy.%白井晟一(1905-1983)は，1950年代の伝統論争において，エッセー「緙文的なるもの」(1956)を発表し，網文•弥生の対比による伝統理解の構図を示した上で，網文的なものへの評価を提唱し，結果として時代の中心にいた丹下健三(1913-2005)に影響を与えた建築家として位置づけられてきた。
