Since 2017, Kobe Shoin Women's Gakuin University has held a calligraphy contest mainly for high school students in the Kansai region.Even today, when opportunities to use a brush have decreased, the Keihanshin area still has a large population involved in calligraphy compared to other areas.In addition, Hyogo Prefecture, where our university is located, produced many calligraphers who had a great influence on post-war calligraphy, and Kobe, in particular, is still a thriving city of calligraphy today.
From 2023, the Department of Japanese Language and Culture in the Faculty of Letters has established a “Calligraphy Course” as a place to learn calligraphy more professionally.We will provide opportunities for high school students who learn calligraphy more than ever to demonstrate their daily achievements, so please feel free to apply.
