書道を通したDallas Asian American Youth Orchestra(アメリカ)との交流6月12日(水)、6月13日(木)の2日間、Dallas Asian American Youth Orchestra(以下DAAYO)という音楽団体を迎え、深草キャンパスにて龍谷大学の学生と交流しました。6月13日(木)には、龍谷大学書道部蟠龍會の学生たちの協力で、書道イベントを本学の成就館Live Theater(深草キャンパス)で開催しました。本学学生が制作した動画用いて、書道の筆使いの基本、書き方のデモンストレーションを行い、各テーブルに日本人学生が付き、DAAYOの団員をサポートしました。練習後は、「和」という字を色紙に清書。「和」という字を筆ペンで色紙に書きました。自分で書いた和が、DAAYOの皆さんにとって素敵なおみやげとなったことを願います。DAAYOのみなさんの声・初めて書道をした・少し難しかった・楽しかった・素敵な思い出になった・龍谷大学のホスピタリティに感動したExchange with Dallas Asian American Youth Orchestra (USA) through Calligraphy [R-Globe]On June 13th (Thursday), Banryukai (Ryukoku University’s calligraphy club), hosted a hands-on event at the Live Theater within our Jojukan Building. Using videos created by our students, we demonstrated the basics of both brush strokes and writing techniques, providing personal guidance by some Japanese students stationed at each table to support the DAAYO students.After practicing for some time, the event participants used calligraphy pens to write the character “和” (harmony) on special paper. We hope that these personal creations will remain as wonderful souvenirs for the DAAYO members.We received feedback from the DAAYO members that it was their very first time to try calligraphy, that they found it a bit difficult but had fun doing it, and that they were able to create wonderful memories. Also, we were very happy to hear that they were impressed by Ryukoku University’s hospitality.
