Calligrapher Satoshi Nemoto offers you the opportunity to bask in the pleasure of the beauty of Hiragana. Hiragana was developed from the cursive style of kanji in the beginning of the Heian era (c. 794 – 1192). Its function is to represent sound rather than meaning, and it is used to write native Japanese words as well as verb inflections, adjectival endings, and more. Nemoto will lecture on the unique backgrounds, meanings, and beautiful flow found in hiragana and will deliver a live performance of calligraphy.
