From the organizer:

To welcome the New Year 2025, the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly presents “Calligraphy Beyond Boundaries by Aoyagi Bisen”, a captivating performance and exhibition by Japanese calligrapher Aoyagi Bisen. This unique event offers an opportunity to explore the delicate artistry of Japanese calligraphy while showcasing the artworks which embody the rich cultural exchange between Japan and Vietnam, through the collaboration with Vietnamese designers.

Aoyagi Bisen is a young, talented calligrapher who is active both inside and outside of Japan, and has performed calligraphy in more than 10 countries. Last year, she presented a calligraphic work commemorating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Vietnam, and continues to present the new world of calligraphy under the theme of “tradition and innovation”.

Kicking off the series of events will be a special Calligraphy Performance by Aoyagi Bisen herself. She will perform live, creating three calligraphy pieces symbolizing the enduring bond between Japan and Vietnam. This is a rare chance to witness the intricate transformation of calligraphy as the artist brings life into traditional Japanese characters and recreates them in a new context. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness and experience the magic of Calligraphy through the creative genius of Aoyagi Bisen.
