June 2025 Exhibition

(Japanese translation follows English, 日本語訳は英文の後に続きます。)

June 2025 Exhibition
Bok-koku: The brush is a sword. The ink is its strokes.
Artwork by Hara Kenryo and Bok-koku Artists
May 31 - June 27, 2025

June's exhibition welcomes the amazing world of "Bok-koku" - where ancient art meets a modern interpretation. Bok-koku artists use giant 'fude' brushes and unique ‘Sumi’ ink to paint works of art based on characters that date back 3100 years to the Yin Dynasty.

Mr. Hara Kenryo, who presides over this art collective, says, "These artworks are historical legacies that transcend time and space and serve as keys to explore the essence of human life and the artist's own human nature."

Exhibition Reception / Live Art Performance
Date: Wednesday, June 4, 7:00pm - 9:00pm, doors open 6:30pm

Members (incl. live performance): 1,000 yen, Guests/Non-members: 2,000 yen (includes one drink)
Art performance: Bok-koku artists will perform live at the club. Please join us.
Advance reservations are highly recommended, at the Front Desk, by phone at 03-3211-3161 or front@fccj.or.jp. Cancellations less than 48 hours in advance will be charged in full.
