Mongolian and Japanese artists launch ‘Judag’ exhibition

Contributing to the development and promotion of Mongolian script writing, 14 talented artists from Mongolia and Japan unveiled their new “Judag” calligraphy exhibition on July 30 at Norphei Art Gallery.

“This is the fifth exhibition we’re launching with Japan. The opening of the previous exhibition was joined by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, his mother, and the Mongolian president,” noted head of the Mongolian Modern Calligraphy Association.

He underlined that the exhibition is significant to the diplomatic relations of Mongolia and Japan, increasing cultural exchanges between the two countries, and promoting Mongolian calligraphers.

Poet G.Mend-Ooyo, a recipient of the Order of Chinggis Khaan, calligraphy master D.Batbayar, and artists B.Khishigsuren, D.Ganbaatar, L.Tuvshinjargal, and Ts.Tamir presented their calligraphy arts at the exhibition. The name of the exhibition “Judag” in Mongolian and “Shitsuke” in Japanese both mean discipline, specifically “the way to carry oneself”. The exhibition encourages everyone to be disciplined in any environment, especially since fewer and fewer people “care” about morals and manners nowadays.

The Mongolian Modern Calligraphy Association plans to collaborate on future calligraphy exhibitions with North and South Korean artists.
