“Participants will be able to write their wishes and enjoy a diverse cultural program, including origami, Japanese games, a concert, and refreshments. Kakizome creates an atmosphere of silence and inspiration, allowing you to express your intentions for the upcoming year with a brush and ink. Come to experience this process and take away not just a character, but a profound meaning. The event is open to everyone, even those without experience. Admission is free,” the statement notes.
