Sashida Takefusa and Hirose Shoko performed a bright calligraphic show for all the guests. First, the artists laid large sheets of white paper on a canvas, and then whooping and flourishing their arms the Japanese created many beautiful hieroglyphs meaning “love”, “life”, “friendship”, and “happiness”. Those willing might get the calligraphy master peaces created right on the spot. Hirose Shoko was so inspired with the atmosphere of the event that she even sang a verse from “Sakura Blossom” song.
