Deai / Encounter was the theme of the exhibition.

A calligraphy of ‘deai’ and the poem (shown below)

 were both part of the exhibit.

 

 

                      

Who you meet and what you encounter changes your life.

Encountering a flower

Meeting someone

A good encounter happens only when you are trying your best,
only when you are seeking something that is a challenge.

I hope to always be ready for a good meeting.

When such a wonderful meeting occurs, I will cherish it.

A good encounter is a treasure.

I am happy to have shared this encounter with you today.
