◎ SISYU Exhibition in Shanghai ◎

October 21, 2025

As a Japanese calligrapher, I am fully satisfied.
The SISYU exhibition opens in China, the home of calligraphy and kanji.
Throughout China’s long cultural history, countless things have been introduced to Japan.
Even kana and katakana, which are considered unique to Japan, are derived from kanji.
Cultural exchanges have continued with respect for more than a thousand years.
This time, we received a warm welcome from the Chinese side who are sharing their culture with us.
Even though the situation in both countries is unstable, Chinese media
Thank you for your sincere consideration of this exhibition.
I have deep respect and gratitude.
The strength of the “cultural bonds” built between the two countries,
I also feel the “breakthrough power of culture.”
