During the KG+2026 exhibition period, as a special related program to Yuka Takasu’s exhibition at GOOD NATURE STATION 4F GALLERY, we are pleased to present the following workshops led by photographer Mai Narita and calligrapher Risa Sumino, offering participants an opportunity to experience art through light and lettering.
---
1. Program Overview
This program is an artistic, hands-on experience that combines the historic photographic printing process of Cyanotype (sun printing) with Western calligraphy.
Using the gentle spring sunlight, participants will create their own original works. The workshop invites attendees to explore the poetic relationship between light and text, image and language, through a refined and contemplative creative process.
