A little while ago, I visited a calligraphy exhibition specialized in kana or Japanese phonetic characters and there I received a gift of Japanese pickled vegetables, which made me really happy because I love them so much.
It has already been five years since I visited Poznań, Poland and was allowed to participate in a calligraphy exhibition, being very worried about my mother who must be waiting for me in an institute for the elderly. I got precious friends there who have been giving me warm and strong friendship even now, which is something like a “dream friendship” without a sense of reality.
I would like as many people as possible to see my late
mother’ calligraphy, as well as my own.
This whole event is to express my greatest gratitude to my late
mother who let me practice calligraphy for many years under a
distinguished calligraphy.
Incidentally, I asked a graphic designer/illustrator, いとおと, who I met by a happy chance to design this postcard. And I am really delighted that I entrusted her to do this job.

I tried to clean up my house before, and now I am tidying my computer. Then I found these photos of paper fans, which I remember I left as thank-you’s at a Buddhist temple that I was very fortunate to be allowed to use as a venue of the group exhibition held in July, 2015. It is really enjoyable to see those characters I myself love.

In my message to the visitors at the calligraphy exhibition held in Poland in November 2017 which I was really fortunate to be allowed to participate in, I briefly mentioned “power of words” that is extremely intriguing to me.
