In terms of address, I went to "Ai (with Utsuku) Words-Keiko Matsuda Exhibition-" held at "Gallery Yaesu Tokyo" in Yaesu 2-chome, Yaesu Underground Shopping Center No. 1
Keiko Matsuda is a calligraphy artist
.
This is an exhibition of works that combine calligraphy and watercolors
In the first place, calligraphy means "beautiful writing" in Greek, and it is said that Western Japanese calligraphy, which expresses the letters of the alphabet beautifully by hand.
The softness and warmth of hand-drawn characters are conveyed.
The realistic watercolor painting was also drawn by Mr. Matsuda, and it seems that opaque watercolor paint is used in the text and transparent watercolor paint is used in the painting.
In terms of calligraphy that makes letters look beautiful, it is common with Japanese calligraphy, but since the pen or similar tools are used for writing, the impression of the work is completely different from Japanese calligraphy, which uses brushes.
At the gallery, Mr. Matsuda also showed me a pen dedicated to calligraphy.
Special
This time, it seems that it is an exhibition focusing on 12 original paintings that decorated the cover of the "Words of Life" magazine for one year.
The period is from Monday, March 20 to 26 (Sun), so when this blog is posted, this exhibition may be over.
Mr. Matsuda's next exhibition scheduled in Chuo-ku seems to be "Gallery Musashi" in Ginza 1-chome
The gallery and Mr. Matsuda agreed with us about photography 
and coverage in this gallery, and we also gave a polite and polite explanation.
Thank you very much
