Modern Da Vinci's birthday performance (3)

 In addition, famous politicians were in attendance; Shizuka Kamei, Jiro Hatoyama, Kenko Matsuki and others.
 Mr.Kamei said, "Dr.Fukami is often said to be today's Da Vinci. While some people say that is an exaggeration, I truly think he is a modern dda Vinci." 
 Then Dr.Koji Kunitani, honorary professor at the Tokyo Unversity of the Arts, said, "I learn every day from Dr.Handa's energy and the strength of his heart."
 Finally, Dr.Handa greeted them and the audience to thank for coming to enjoy the 17th birthday exhibition. "I would like to keep trying new things. The way you feel a year is long is to do something you have never done. If you do the same thing as you did last year, the time passes really quickly."
 Then, he did live calligraphy performance. He wrote kanji character haru (春、spring) with a brush the size of a broom on paper the size of a table tennis table.
 After the calligraphy demonstration, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was done to open the exhibition. 



Dr.Handa, John Key and other guests of honor prepare to cut the ribbon at the exhibition.
