Mongolian and Japanese calligraphers come together | Ubpost News: "Mongolian and Japanese calligraphers opened a calligraphy exhibition at the Mongolian National Art Gallery on July 22. Calligraphy has been developed and valued in both Japan and Mongolia. Ancient masterpieces are hanging on the wall of theMongolian National Modern Art Gallery. This is the first time that work’s by Japan’s famous masters of calligraphy, considered calling cards of Japanese art, have ever been displayed in Mongolia.
In an interview with Executive Director of the Mongolian Modern Calligraphers Association, D.Battumur, we learn more about the exhibition.
-What makes this exhibition distinctive?
-We’ve exhibited shows with Japanese calligraphers before. I opened a joint exhibition in Japan with people who can write calligraphy, such as three people who were previously a Japanese prime minister, members of Japanese parliament, and politicians. The main distinction of the exhibition is that the executive manager of the Association of International Calligraphy in Japan, Noda Koji, came to Mongolia and displayed artwork by famous Japanese calligraphy masters. The artwork displayed in the exhibition has travelled to 20 countries. We are planning to exhibit Mongolia’s master artworks in Japan next year."
