Presentation
Participez à un atelier de découverte et d'initiation à la calligraphie japonaise, proposé par l'abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel dans le cadre du 15ème anniversaire du jumelage entre les communes du Mont-Saint-Michel et de Miyajima.
En écho à cet atelier, petits et grands pourront, la même journée, découvrir et s’essayer à la calligraphie romane.
Program
Discover calligraphy, a popular art form in Japan.
As esteemed as painting, it has a philosophical meaning. It's not just the aesthetic pursuit of beautiful writing; every gesture, every stroke is important. It is the art of simple gesture, a moment of calm and relaxation.
TCHIE SATO, a Japanese calligraphy teacher, was born in Japan. She will be guiding visitors as a family as they try their hand at representing ideograms with a brush, making kana, and Japanese cursive writing.
