In Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, a calligrapher writes calligraphy on the white snow that has fallen and piled up like a large piece of paper.
Mr. Fusasen Fukuda, a calligrapher from Shizuoka Prefecture, performed "Yukigami Kiko".
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it was held for the first time in three years, and this time it was held in a garden in Yonezawa city.
The white snow that had fallen in the garden was compacted to a size of about 10 meters in height and 15 meters in width, and Mr. Fukuda held a large brush with plenty of India ink in both arms and moved it vigorously to create a “glow” on the snow. I was writing up the character.
In addition, to the left and right of the character "Kira" are the characters "unwavering heart" and "survive", with the hope that they will survive difficult situations such as the new coronavirus and the military invasion of Ukraine with an unwavering heart. I'm sorry.
Approximately 100 spectators gathered in the garden to watch Mr. Fukuda write.
An 8-year-old girl from Yonezawa said, "The handwriting is large and beautiful, so I want to write it when I grow up."
Mr. Fukuda said, "Even if the snow melts and nothing remains, if the people who see it are moved, that's art. I want to continue." .
