On Nov. 21, the Calligraphy Team visited Iwaki City Tabito Elementary School and Tabito Junior High School in Fukushima and with the children and pupils of both schools held an event to appreciate Shosha Calligraphy. In Fukushima prefecture, many schools take part in the “Fukushima Prefecture’s New Year’s Kakizome Calligraphy Exhibition”, an event of prefecture-wide scale, and the team helped and gave the students support in their practice of this coming year’s assigned theme. The children and pupils all used the various teaching tools that the team had prepared for them and got to work on their assignments in a very serious manner. (kanno)
