Calligraphy is exists of Chinese characters, which are also used in Japan. Each character has a meaning, and if you write it beautifully, you can depict this meaning in art’, Says Junko Huijs. Her mother is Japanese and often travels for her work between the netherlands and Japan. ‘She met Eita through some other contacts’, Junko shares. ‘He wanted to come to Europe for a while, upon which my mother inviited him to the Netherlands. Coincindentally he was touring through Europe during the same time that the One World Week was planned. The University was immediately enthusiastic. Thursday he will make personal calligraphy art pieces and give a demonstration on a large piece of paper of three by four meter.’
