UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Shoko Kanazawa, a Japanese calligrapher from Tokyo, starting Friday, January 14th to Saturday, February 19th, 2022. Shoko started doing calligraphy at five years of age, studying under her mother, Yasuko. She has held numerous solo exhibitions both within Japan and overseas while having her Japanese calligraphy present at famous shrines and temples nationwide. Despite all her success, Shoko is still working hard to widen her appeal on an even bigger stage.
In this exhibition, we present a group of works reminiscent around the narrative of "Creation" portrayed at the beginning of the Old Testament in the Book of Genesis, along with an exhibition space that is likened to the universe. We planned this joint project with Waraku web from SHOGAKUKAN Inc. We hope to create a story of "Creation" with a calligrapher who creates everything on the white paper, just as God created everything in the universe. This is a valuable opportunity to see Shoko Kanazawa's work. We appreciate it if you could drop by and enjoy her works. Lunar communication Shoko rented a room to "live by herself". As she saw a beautiful shining crescent moon through the window she said, "I'm going to communicate with my mother using this moon, so I don't need any mobile phone.” Apparently, even if they are separated, theyʼll communicate with each other via the moon. She canʼt help but say that sheʼs independent. She doesn't have to grieve. Shoko, connected to the heavens in this way, receives "the harmony of the universe" and hopes that everything is in harmony with peace and happiness, because the thoughts from angels are transmitted from such a place.
