In closing
The fact that this is the 76th event means the movement has continued ever since the postwar years〜 Since it’s taking place on the pedestrian deck in front of the station, it should be easy to stop by while shopping or waiting for a train. We’re looking forward to seeing the calligraphy performance by local residents who have been practicing especially for this event!
