Visitors can experience the unique beauty of calligraphy up close, such as the dynamism of brushstrokes, the shades of ink, and the composition of blank spaces, providing an opportunity to feel the artistry and spirituality of calligraphy. Another major feature of this exhibition is the opportunity to experience the calligraphy culture of China's northeastern region, which is rarely encountered in Japan. ■ Exhibiting Artists (Main Participants) ・Gao Yugang (Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Liaoning Province Calligraphers Association) ・Li Shuqiang (Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ・Liu Falin (Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ・Zhu Mingyue (Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ・Liang Wenfu (Director of Liaoning Province Calligraphers Association / Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ・Yan Haibo (Director of Liaoning Province Calligraphers Association / Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ・Zhang Shengjiu (Director of Liaoning Province Calligraphers Association / Vice Chairman of Dalian Calligraphers Association) ■ Event Outline ・Event Name: Japan-China Cultural Exchange Series Project 'Shosha Dalian' Calligraphy Exhibition ・Period: Tuesday, April 29, 2026 – Saturday, May 10, 2026 ・Hours: 11:00 – 18:00 (Open every day during the exhibition period) ・Venue: Daiun Shoko Museum Nara (1-521 Higashi-Ikoma, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture) ・Admission: Free ・Organizer: Daiun Shoko Co., Ltd. ・Planning Cooperation: Spring Culture Co., Ltd. ・Cooperation: Dalian Calligraphers Association / Dalian Japan-China-Korea Friendship Association ・Inquiries: 📱080-6189-7811 / ✉️ info@daiunshoko.com Daiun Shoko is a cultural hub that operates with the aim of promoting art and culture, primarily Chinese painting and calligraphy, and fostering international exchange.
