The 4th Miki Intracompany Exhibition (intracompany exhibition = calligraphy exhibition with my students) was held at Acros Fukuoka.
Before it was being held at the local historical museum, and the intracompany exhibition in the heart of Fukuoka, Kyushu, was a long shot for me.
All the exhibitors except me were amateurs.
Each of them had a very few acquaintances and some people could not come to the place by themselves.
For 1 week, from March 24th to 30th, I was driving to there on highways.
I was really…exhausted.
Results?
Thank you, it was a great success!!!
For the intracomapany exhibition, which is mostly a place for making a presentation of study, many visitors cannot usually be expected.
However…more than 1,000 people visited.
According to great feedback, many people who had not been interested in calligraphy said "I felt the joy of calligraphy" and "the past negative image of calligraphy has changed".
There are also many people who want to take lessons, and now I am crying with delight.
The bud of a new challenge is starting to come a little bit out of the ground in my mind.
There are many hurdles on the way to realize it.
If this feeling grows up inside me and I am in the serious mode, I will certainly realize it even by kicking out these hurdles.
Please, look forward to it!
