Japanese Calligraphy: 'compete'

This is a series of workshops designed by Azumi Uchitani to explore Japanese culture through the art of calligraphy and language. We will meet bi-weekly, slowly moving from season to season and uncovering new characters, rituals, concepts and beliefs deeply rooted in Japanese lifestyle. Each event we will centre around a new symbol: we will learn its meaning, discuss a poem about it, meditate and experience the power of the concept through calligraphy practice.

Compete: 競う

We are excited to announce our next Japanese Calligraphy workshop, where we will explore the concept of competition (競う Kisou). As part of our monthly program themed “Game On!”, this workshop will focus on how competition is perceived in Japanese culture and its role in sports, work, and everyday life. Through the practice of calligraphy, we will delve into the spirit of healthy rivalry and how it fosters growth, discipline, and perseverance in Japanese society. Join us for a creative and insightful session as we explore the balance between competition and collaboration in the Japanese way of life.
