Spotlights

Hello, this is SIED.

 

On November 15th(Fri.), we held an event called "Let's make your own Shikishi!" at the International Community Lounge on the Kyotanabe campus.
A total of 7 participants joined us: 3 international students and 4 local students.
During the event, we had the participants experience the traditional Japanese art of calligraphy.
They first practiced on rice paper, and towards the end of the event, they wrote on colored paper for a final, one-shot calligraphy.
After finishing, they decorated their works with mizuhiki (decorative cords), creating many beautiful and vibrant pieces.

Although it was their first time using brushes, everyone focused intently and created impressive works that they were proud of.

Thank you to all the participants!

 

SIED will continue to organize various international exchange events in the future.
