Satoshi Koyama Gallery
Closes Dec. 24

Since prehistoric times, human beings have always searched for better ways to communicate. Art was originally a way to share ideas with others and record information for the future. But how images or symbols are actually interpreted has always depended on the viewer and his or her personal experience.

Tomoko Kawao, an artist based in Kyoto, challenges one art form that does limit its interpretations — calligraphy.
