Passersby were fascinated by the two artists' speedy brush strokes and the colorful character shapes that were created one after another based on the three abstract themes of "Futari," "Dream," and "Art." Seeing the works in which not only the font but also the size and arrangement of the characters were thoroughly calculated, it was a competition that made them strongly aware of the artistic nature of calligraphy.
