T+review

Writing is an inseparable part of human civilization. The act of writing is intimately connected to the act of living as a human being.
The most memorable piece was the font of characters written by foreign students that was displayed on the central wall. My first impression was that it had a human-like warmth to it, considering it was made on a computer. However, when I found out that it was made from characters written by hand, it somehow made sense.
There is a saying that a person's character can be revealed by their handwritten characters. As the saying goes, characters express the person themselves. In this modern age of advanced electronic devices such as computers, perhaps the act of selecting a font to be displayed on a screen and printed out by a printer has the same meaning as the act of writing characters by hand.
And perhaps that is because everyone has words in their hearts that can be expressed in written form. (Ota Natsuki)
