Days of Japanese culture: day one, day two...

March 27, 2010

The show “Days of Japanese culture” started today at the Contemporary museum of calligraphy in Sokolniki.

All the lovers of original Japanese culture for a few hours flew to ancient Japan and saw young ladies wearing kimono and warriors fighting with swords – kobudo. And of course, we couldn’t go by a real pearl and the most important of all Japanese arts: calligraphy. Beautiful and flying hieroglyphs were born alive by Japanese masters Sashida Takefusa and Hirose Shekou.

We tried to catch all the colors of Japan, catch its spirit and unforgettable mystery in our photos. Feel Japan!

New day. New emotions

The Japanese culture turned out to be very close to the Muscovites. More and more people are willing to see the true Japanese art by world known artists. Chairs were not enough but no one left us disappointed. Take a minute to see how we spent today’s holiday.
