Dialogue Beyond Words – In Between Calligraphy and Light
Calligraphy expressed with black ink on pure white washi paper.
In the works presented by Carre MOJI, where the focus is not on the artwork itself but on the viewer’s interaction with it, there is a beauty in the “space” that contrasts with the graceful brushstrokes. This space invites the viewer’s imagination to expand, offering a sense of serenity and openness. This exhibition showcases the Tokyo Series, where various landscapes of Tokyo are expressed through calligraphy. While appreciating the forms of the Japanese characters, visitors enjoyed the view of Tokyo that spreads through their minds.
The gentle light that envelops you comes from “Kotori,” a design lighting piece that draws on the craftsmanship of the Kyō-wagasa (traditional Kyoto umbrellas) by Hiyoshiya. The soft glow of light, emanating from hand-crafted washi paper, creates a serene atmosphere. Visitors enjoyed a quiet dialogue with the calligraphy works in this peaceful space.
