DESCRIPTION

With exhibitions and events both in Japan and abroad, the moving calligraphy of Shoko Kanazawa is attracting global attention that has seen her invited to New York to help raise awareness about Down Syndrome. Shoko learned the art from her mother Yasuko, and though life now is happy for the pair, fears for her disabled daughter's future once drove Yasuko to thoughts of ending it all. In this program, we introduce a mother and daughter striving to dispel misconceptions about disability.
