An annual event showcasing the best calligraphy in every grade from all over Shiga Prefecture at the Otsu City Museum of History will take place on 13th -15th February 2015. These photos are from a previous year, but hopefully they give some idea of the scope and quality of this exhibition. After you finish looking at the calligraphy you should take the opportunity to see around the Museum of History, which has some interesting displays.

Even I'm a Japanese, I can't read some of them. There are many way to use calligraphy techniques to express. I practiced a lot when I was a kid because I want to write neatly.
