Tokyo Yunus Emre Enstitüsü organizes “Yunus Emre in 7 Languages, 7 Climates” Calligraphy Exhibition in collaboration with MG Latin Calligraphy School located in Tokyo. Exhibition featuring calligraphic inscriptions of Yunus Emre poems can be visited in Tokyo Embassy Residence until 6 September 2015, Sunday.

MG Latin Calligraphy School students worked for almost a year, and 25 works were produced. Following the completion of the works, exhibition titled “Yunus Emre in 7 Languages 7 Climates” was opened on 31 August 2015 in Tokyo Embassy Residence. Turkey Tokyo Ambassador A. Bülent Meriç and his wife Mrs. Kumiko Meriç, Former Japan Minister of National Education and Former Ankara Ambassador Atsuka Tooyama, Vice Secretary of Defense Kanae Yamamoto, Vice Secretary of Defense Akira Satou, Congressman Shigeru Tanaka, Bunkyo Mayor Hironobu Narisawa, Directress of MG Calligraphy School Muriel Gaggini, Tokyo Yunus Emre Enstitüsü Director Telat Aydın, and numerous guests attended the exhibition opening.

Students who worked for almost a year to design the works, expressed their thrill over the exhibition featuring their works. A Japanese student with a design in the exhibition recounted the design process as follows: “I purchased a goose egg. When the egg hatched, I raised the goose, and wrote this piece with that goose's feather. This is my first experience with Turkish poetry but I loved it, and was moved when I was writing it.”

Yunus Emre in 7 Languages, 7 Climates exhibition is planned to be shown in London, Rome, Tehran, Rabat, Sarajevo and Ankara after Tokyo.
