Hoshino Community Base Making a fan to welcome the summer ~Ink painting experience workshop~Event period 2025/06/30

As a new project of "Hoshino Community Base", we will be making a fan. The instructor will be Yuushin, a calligrapher and painter living in Karuizawa, and an artist of Hoshino Onsen Tombo no Yu "Shinra Hyakusen". Why not spend the summer in Karuizawa refreshing with a handmade fan painted with the technique of picture letters?

The subject of the drawing is a wind chime. While imagining the cool breeze blowing through the shade of the trees, observe the wind chime carefully and copy it onto the fan. Don't worry about being good or bad. The interesting thing is that the bleeding and overflowing of the ink gives the finished product a mysterious and tasteful finish. Let's complete a one-of-a-kind fan with Yuushin's guidance.

100 collections of booksWhat is "Shinra Hyakusen"?
These calligraphy and paintings introduce the rich nature that surrounds Tombo-no-Yu. Scenes of wild plants and animals from each season are displayed on a monthly basis.
