Wa (peace or harmony) in eight styles

This is what I saw recently during one exhibition in Ueno. I found it pretty awesome.

I'm back. Obon is over and galleries are opened again.

Few nice calligraphies I saw today

Today I went to Ueno to see another part of Mainichi Shodo Exhibition and to Ginza as usually to see few more. Tokyo turned to a sauna and I rather take pictures in air-conditioned galleries than on streets. But I’m gonna take few trips to take pictures of signboards as soon as temperature drops to human level. I hope you’ll enjoy the pictures. I like them very much.

You’re invited to exhibitions of calligraphy. Not by emails, websites, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, BUT BY POST CARDS!

It’s roughly two years since I started to visit galleries on every Saturday and I’ve probably visited more than 500 exhibitions of calligraphy. I usually visit few places in Ginza, sometimes in Ueno and occasionally in Roppongi. Luckily all of them are always entrance free and I need to pay only for transportation. Calligraphy is a hobby for retirement and probably most of visitors don’t have an email address. It sounds very old school, but these post cards are still used to invite people. I scanned few to show them to you. Would you say that these are invitation cards for exhibitions of calligraphy?
