We, Los Angeles Yamanashi Prefectural Association, will present “Team Calligraphy Performance” at Japanese American Festival called NISEI WEEK* at Down Town L.A. this summer. This is a cultural exchange program devised by high school students from Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan.
The purpose of this project is to help the youth of Yamanashi Prefecture develop an appreciation for international cooperation and understanding. And we received an approval from Mr. Girgis, the Principal of Torrance High School that THS students could help our Performance.
Japanese Calligraphy is an old culture of Japan, and traditional arts that we write the Japanese character on paper with a writing brush and Indian ink. “Team Calligraphy Performance “ is a performance of writing on big paper with music wearing traditional clothes, "Hakama". And it was developed from Japanese calligraphy. The size of paper is about 30feet long and about 40feet wide. It should be a great experience for students. It also looks great on college appliciations.
