For 30 minutes during our October 29th event, special guest Hiro-sensei will demonstrate modern calligraphy. Hiro-sensei transforms calligraphy into a variety of artwork through a theme of her own called “Impressive Calligraphy”, which is derived from the traditional culture called Shodo. Ranging from basic letters to avant-garde works, her expression covers various styles, comes from out of the box thinking, and carries strong messages. 10月29日のイベントでは、30分間、ヒロ先生による現代書道を見学します。ヒロ先生は、伝統的な書道を様々な芸術作品へと進化させ、基本的な文字から、前衛的な芸術作品まで、常識にとらわれない、メッセージ性のある様々な作品を制作されています。

After the presentation, we will move into breakout rooms grouped by level to chat. ヒロ先生の書道を見学した後で、レベル別にグループに分かれて語学交換を行います。

Admission: This is a free event, with advance RSVP required. 参加費無料。事前のお申し込みが必要です。
