Japanese calligraphy took center stage at an event held before a professional baseball game at Tokyo Dome, as part of efforts to have the traditional art recognized by UNESCO. The Yomiuri Giants and Chunichi Dragons were set to face off in an exhibition match on Friday. At the event, organized by the Yomiuri Giants and other groups, students from Daito Bunka University’s calligraphy department demonstrated their skills by using large brushes to write phrases such as "forever immortal" and "powerful swing."
The dynamic brushstrokes drew applause from the audience as they appeared on the giant screens at the stadium.
