Korean calligraphy on Ho Chi Minh’s poems exhibited
Forty-five calligraphic works featuring the late President Ho Chi Minh’s famous collection of poems, “Prison Diary,” are on display at an exhibition which opened in Hanoi on December 24.
The event is to mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK).
The works by 24 leading RoK calligraphers show their respect and admiration for President Ho Chi Minh and their love for Vietnamese people.
Over the past 50 years, the “Prison Diary” has been translated into many foreign languages and become a great inspiration to both domestic and international artists.
Poems in the collection were first translated into Korean language in 2000.
