First Calligraphy of the Year "kakizome, 書き初め"

 (posted; Japanese culture page)
My husband's ex-lady-collage is a member of the "genyuukai" calligraphy school;
 
She kindly informed us about the "kakizome, 書き初め" by the school held at our city airport. Three calligraphers (including the president) showed us working on the big paper. Using their whole body, DYNAMIC works were done♪

They were having interview from the radio program.
I put the performers with the right order with their works in the picture above.

          They worked with the background music;

*First Performer (my husband's ex-lady colleague)*
She is wearing the kind of 'kimono type' clothes her mother sewed for her.
"誰の胸にもひとつ打ち鳴らせ心臓の音"
"Beat out one of your heartbeat to everyone's heart"
Her work is from the lyric of the song called "AH Yeah" sung by the Japanese singers called "スキマスイッチ. sukimasuicchi".


*Second Performer*
"ありのままで"   "Let it go"


*Third Performer  (president of the school)
"風に舞"  "Dancing in the wind"

Let me show you the glass seal they're using for their works, which their calligrapher names on them, specially made by the local glass atelier.

           
Extra;  For the last, inside of her haori-coat she was wearing a T-shirt her master's calligraphy was printed.


         '夢・ yume,  Dream' and  her calligrapher name '結花. yuuka'


 Linking this post to, "Our World Tuesday"
Thank you very much for stopping by;

I told her about my posting this event soon, visiting you soon as well my friends☆☆☆

  3. Wow their works are really dynamic, and so beautiful! Your husband's ex-colleague created such a wonderful art. Very powerful. And I love her kimono-type outfit. She looks very elegant!
    I love their calligraphy style very much. At school, we were told to write as textbook showed. Never seen calligraphy like this in the textbook :-)

  10. Dearest Miyako,
    The title 'Let it go' at present speaks to me strongly but I LOVE your husband's former colleague's kimono. She is very graceful looking. Of course women do win from men!
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette
