The event was an intimate affair that ran from 20-25 October and featured works done by calligraphers of the Nihon Shodo Bijutsuin (Japan Calligraphy Art Academy).
It is the Academy's first exhibition in Singapore and as part of the event, there were daily performances by their Master Calligraphers from 2-3pm ans well as a hands-on calligraphy workshop (done on an uchiwa, a traditional fan)
I attended the event yesterday, hoping to see the Master Calligraphers performance but to no avail - it was already over so I dropped by again today, in the late afternoon.
There was quite a selection of works that ran the gamut from waka poetry to Buddhist scripture.

I was quite fascinated by the works done on Japanese decorative paper. There was one in particular that had soft pastel tones of blue and pink with silver paint spattered across that evoked the image of stars in the heavens.
