Description

The State of Michigan and Japan’s Shiga Prefecture are tied together by lakes, Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes and Shiga containing Lake Biwa, the biggest lake in Japan. It was in 1968 that both Governors signed a sister-state agreement, making 2018 the 50th anniversary of our sister-state relationship. In celebration, this exhibit brought to Michigan by the Shiga Calligraphy Association, will showcase over 140 works of calligraphy produced by members of all ages and skill levels.

An opening reception will be held at the Downtown Library on Sunday August 19 from 3:00–5:00pm and will feature light refreshments and a live demonstration by Master calligrapher. Kozan Kanda.
