Exhibition  

Exhibits on the first floor
Modern Sho Calligraphy of Chiba Prefecture　　

 

Exhibits on the second floor
Calligraphers of the Chiba Shodō Association

 

In this exhibition, we examine works produced by modern calligraphers who have ties to Chiba prefecture. This includes both works part of the “Modern Sho Calligraphy of Chiba Prefecture” exhibit on the second floor, as well the “Calligraphers of the Chiba Shodō Association” exhibit on the first floor, which features pieces by prominent calligraphers of the association.

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on three sides and Tonegawa River to its north, Chiba prefecture is an area that has been blessed with a bountiful natural environment and warm climate. Its proximity to the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Edo period also allowed it to prosper both culturally and economically. We hope that you will enjoy these calligraphic works, the fruits grown from the nutrient-rich cultural soil of this land.
