Presentation

Yu YAMAMOTO wants to extend calligraphy beyond writing. His original and creative personality has inspired him to create 3D calligraphy works, which allows him to differentiate himself within this artistic field and play with its traditional codes!

This year, he will come to the festival to present you his work at the WABI SABI area alongside many craftsmen eager to show you the wealth of Japanese folklore!

A word on the art of calligraphy

Calligraphy appeared in Japan more than 1200 years ago. This art consists in expressing letters estheticism as well as the meaning of words with a paintbrush and India ink. Calligraphers traditionally paint on washi, which is a type of hand-crafted paper that has been produced in Japan since the 7th century. However, we can now encounter a wide range of calligraphic expressions: some artists mix this art with digital technology, use paint instead of ink, or draw on various materials such as fabrics, wood, leather or glass.
