Exhibit of joint calligraphy, abstract works opens at U.N.

GENEVA, Switzerland - An exhibition showcasing the collaborative works of a Japanese calligrapher and French abstract artist opened at the European headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva on June 5. The exhibit features the uniquely styled works of Shiryu Katayama (standing at left), 57, a resident of Tokyo's Setagaya Ward, and France-based Tessarolo. Much of the exhibit consists of kanji characters written by Katayama, which Tessarolo then adorned with an image expressing his feelings about the kanji's meaning.
