Notes

Tokyo 2020, art poster created for the Olympic Games entitled “Fly High!” by Shoko KANAZAWA. Born with Down’s syndrome, Shoko Kanazawa is one of Japan’s leading contemporary calligraphers. She is a performance expert, as the use of outsize brushes requires expressions and movements of the whole body. The work was executed on a surface covered with gold foil, showcasing fine Japanese craftsmanship. Donated by the OCOG
