Description of Exhibition
The cultures of Japan and China are united by their shared use of Chinese characters (J. kanji; Ch. hanzi). Over their long histories, both countries developed rich traditions of calligraphy that celebrate the unique creative energy and expressive forms of the written word. These traditions have kept the art of calligraphy alive despite modern technological advances that have minimized the need to write by hand. This exhibition features outstanding works of calligraphy from both countries that have been carefully preserved for generations.
