A window-gallery exhibition at Yokohama Gate Tower's Start Gallery, viewed from the Tochinoki-dori side, presenting work by calligrapher Reisen Ochi, selected through an open call. The piece, titled The Present World, writes the Heart Sutra in a mix of wood glue and soot on washi paper, without aiming for legibility, using black for the darkness of modern society and the uninked white as light. Organised by the Yokohama Gate Tower management association and BankART1929.
