Lord Sugawara no Michizane First Calligraphy Tournament

About this event

In connection with Kitahara Tenmangu Shrine in Agui Town enshrining Lord Sugawara no Michizane, revered as the god of learning, this Kakizome (First Calligraphy of the Year) contest is held at the beginning of the year to honor one of the Three Sages of Calligraphy and allow people to feel closer to Lord Michizane. Announcing the arrival of the new year, this tournament sees many participants wield their brushes with focused, earnest expressions, pouring their hearts into every single character. Participation is free, and participation prizes are awarded. The event takes place at the Multipurpose Hall of the Labor Welfare Center (Esperance Maruyama), though it may be changed to the Multipurpose Hall of the Agui Central Public Hall (Agupi-a Hall) depending on the number of applicants.
