2014 Exhibition of Japanese Calligraphy: 'The Way of the Brush' - Portland Japanese GardenNEW

This February, the Garden hosts an exhibition of fine calligraphy by Master Yoshiyasu Fujii of Tokyo and the Meito Shodo Kai, a non-profit organization established in 1996 by students of the Akashi USA calligraphy schools, the largest Japanese calligraphy association in the United States with over one hundred members. Many of those whose work is represented in this exhibition have received top awards at prestigious calligraphy competitions in Japan and the US. The purpose of the group is to promote the tradition of Japanese calligraphy in the US through education and exhibition. Fujii Sensei began the study of calligraphy at the age of five in his childhood home of Saga, Japan. Fujii is the recipient of many honors, including the top award at Mainichi Calligraphy Competition, Japan's oldest, largest, and most prestigious calligraphy competition, in 1990 and 1992.
