This is an invaluable collaboration with bonsai and calligraphy, two representative own cultures in Japan. We hope all of you not to miss it.

On November 20, Sunday, Miss Shoko Kanazawa will write some kanji (Japanese character) with a big writing brush on the stage. And her mother, Mrs. Yasuko Kanazawa, will have a lecture about her life.
(This program will be held in the hall, so the seating capacity has a limit.)
