The calligraphy club placed 4th as a group at the 29th All Japan High School and University Calligraphy Exhibition, and 4 club members won the grand prize.

On Thursday, July 25, 2024, the results of the 29th All-Japan High School and University Calligraphy Exhibition, which determines the grand prize winner for student calligraphy, were announced, with the Teikyo University Calligraphy Club coming in fourth place in the group university division, and works by Otobuchi Koko (2nd year, Faculty of Liberal Arts), Sato Yuuki (2nd year, Graduate School of Liberal Arts), Kyoda Yujin (2nd year, Graduate School of Liberal Arts), and Hiyoshi Rino (1st year, Faculty of Liberal Arts) winning the highest award, the Calligraphy Exhibition Grand Prize. This year, only 56 works were awarded the Grand Prize out of a total of 8,784 entries, making it a very competitive competition, but four members of the Calligraphy Club won the award, the highest number ever for our university's Calligraphy Club.
In addition, Sato's work was selected as one of the Grand Prize winning works and will be exhibited for five days from May 7th to May 11th at the Osaka-Kansai Expo to be held in April next year.
In response to this result, Junya Fukui, head coach of the calligraphy club at our university, commented, "Although we fell just short of the Outstanding Group Award (top three), we are extremely pleased and excited for the results we have achieved, with four members receiving the grand prize, the highest number ever, and two of those being first- and second-year students. "The club's captain, Mana Kuriyama (third-year, Faculty of Liberal Arts), also expressed her joy at receiving the award, saying, "I'm very happy that all the members of the club came together to achieve the wonderful result of placing fourth. I'd like to thank the seniors who cheered us on, and all the people involved who supported us."
We appreciate your continued support for the Calligraphy Club.
