Calligraphy contest


Participants display their works during the New Year's calligraphy contest at the Budokan Hall in Tokyo. Some 3,500 people participated in the annual calligraphy contest.

The calligraphies read:
New Discovery
Bright Future
Beauty of Nature
Healthy Child

I was glad to see that such topics were among the selections. It seems to me that Japan is embarking on a more ecological and sustainable path, with more awareness about environmental protection. For 2006, I wish this is not just a "trend" but a sincere effort to find solutions to many of the problems in modern Japan.
