The Paintings and Calligraphy of Jao Tsung-I

 

An exhibition of 200 paintings and calligraphy works by China's Jao Tsung-I was held at the Soka Gakkai's Kansai International Culture Center in Kobe, Japan, from October 2-28, 2007, commemorating the 35th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations. Jao Tsung-I, who has won renown as a scholar, a painter and a calligrapher, has been described as the Leonardo da Vinci of the Orient. Some 70,000 people visited the exhibition.
