"Kukai" Kindergarten, Elementary, and Junior High School Calligraphy Exhibition

About this event

As the proverb 'A bad workman quarrels with his tools' goes (known in Japan as 'Kobo does not choose his brush'), Kobo Daishi Kukai was such a master calligrapher that he was counted among the 'Five Brush Monks' in Tang China and the 'Sanpitsu' (Three Brushes) in Japan. Commemorating his great virtue, this calligraphy exhibition collects works from kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school students in Kagawa Prefecture and is held over the first 7 days of the New Year. This exhibition provides a place for local children to present the results of their daily study and be honored. The awards ceremony will take place after the Fude Kuyo (memorial service for used brushes) held on the 5th. Admission is free, and the hours are from 9:00 to 16:00.
