42nd New Year Exhibition of Sankei Sho International Association 第42回産経国際書展 新春展

My last submission for 2025 is being exhibited at the 42nd New Year Exhibition of Sankei Sho International Association 第42回産経国際書展 新春展, and I found time to go take a look.


The exhibition is being held at The National Art Center, Tokyo (国立新美術館). Instead of going from Roppongi Station, this time, I came in from Nogisaka Station.

The exhibition is mostly for members of the Sankei Sho International Association, who get to display their works in different sizes, including very big pieces.


 
To meet the art museum's criteria for public exhibitions, it also accepted submissions from the general public. As usual, these submissions are smaller and cramped together like this.
 
This is my work, which uses the character for horse 馬 as it is the Year of the Horse.

 
The 48th Exhibition of International Calligraphy and Ink Painting 第48回 國際書画展 did not charge any admission fees, so I went to take a look again. It had both calligraphy and ink paintings on display. The ink paintings were also not the plain black and white ones too. There were all kinds of colourful paintings. 



 
Time to go back to work on my submissions for 2026!
