Karuizawa New Art Museum will be holding a "New Year's Workshop" to mark the start of 2026.
We have prepared two events: the annual "New Year's Calligraphy Competition" and "Original Tarot Card Making," which allows participants to create their own original tarot cards using their own original ideas.
Why not put your New Year's goals and wishes into calligraphy and tarot cards?
If you are spending the New Year season in Karuizawa, please feel free to join us!

REPORT
To mark the start of the new year, we held two programs: a calligraphy workshop and tarot card making, which were attended by people of all ages.
At the calligraphy workshop, participants enjoyed taking up their brushes and writing down their thoughts and goals for the new year.
It was impressive to see the serious expressions on the students' faces as they worked on each character, and the friendly exchanges they had as they showed each other their finished works.
In the tarot card making session, participants created works that showed off their individuality, using their favorite animals as motifs or their own cats as models. Even with the same theme, there was a wide variety of expressions, and the creative process naturally led to conversations that expanded.
Over the three days, participants were able to prepare for the new year through craftsmanship and take a positive step forward, creating a peaceful time.
We sincerely hope that this year will be a fruitful and successful one for all participants.
