世界中を旅して文化交流を行ってきた書道家　原田観峰。３５年間にわたり多くの人々の交流の場であったNew York のKampo Cultural Center終了を機に、これを京都に移し、観峰生誕１００年を記念して、彼の理念を引き継ぎ人種を越えたひとびとの交流の場にしていきたい。観峰流書道講座では、真の観峰流を学ぶことが出来、草花と自然の素材を使ったフラワーアレンジメント、文化と言語、アートと言語を組み合わせたユニークな文化講座を開講する。併設のギャラリーでの展覧会や映画上映などの催しも多数計画中・・・

Kampo Harada, the eminent Japanese calligrapher, travelled the globe promoting cultural exchange. For 35 years, the Kampo Cultural Center in New York City served as a focus for such exchanges that brought in a myriad of participants. After its recent closure, and to mark the centennial of Kampo's birth by carrying forward his ideals, the center has now relocated to Kyoto, where we hope it will serve as a site for exchange that rises above race or culture. Courses in the Kampo school of calligraphy will offer participants the chance to study the true Kampo style; the center will also feature classes in flower arrangement that uses grasses and flowers and other natural materials, and cultural courses that uniquely link culture and language or art and language. Plans are underway for events at the associated gallery, such as exhibitions and movie screenings.
