About Bokura no Shoten
Bokura no Shoten is a Japanese “SHO” calligraphy group formed in the summer of 2009, composed of university and high school students who believe in the possibility of calligraphy.
Our group was formed to discover a new side of “SHO” through fresh and youthful sensibility, without being bounded by existing expression method. We aim to explore new expressions while following the history of “SHO”, especially since the Meiji Era.
Our exhibition was held in Tochigi prefecture in 2010 for the first time, then again in 2012 (Tochigi), in 2014 (Tokyo and Tochigi), in 2016 (Wien), in 2017 (Tokyo), and in 2018 (Tokyo). In 2019, we held the 8th “Bokura no Shoten” in Tokyo and published our book with works and papers.
