I am quite busy these days. But I am working like never before. Recently I have shot two videos about signboards that I am going to edit soon. Attending a course of mounting and working on my very first scroll. There are some pictures from galleries I have visited during last month.

As usually I went to see number of exhibitions last week. But I’ve seen more nice calligraphies out than in. As you can see, I was walking a lot.

This is what I saw recently during one exhibition in Ueno. I found it pretty awesome.

I'm back. Obon is over and galleries are opened again.

I knew we have Obon over here these days. But still I was surprised to see all galleries closed last weekend. So I was eager to take some pictures with my new 7,5 mm fish eye lens. I realized that fish eye is not for shy amateur photographer like me soon… Anyway, there are some signboards I found interesting on my way.

There was a summer festival in front of our house on Saturday and we also had to wake up quite early on Sunday to catch a bus to see Mount Fuji. I had just one hour to drop by at Ginza to see some exhibitions.

I went to Roppongi to see one more time the Mainichi Shodo Exhibition in The National Art Center and as usually to Ginza. This weekend I’m going for three days to spend some time with my wife and take some pictures of Mount Fuji. Another load of nice calligraphies should be in two weeks.
