### About “ON (御)”
Fan Circle Inc., a company working to “solve social issues through sports and entertainment,” launched the “ART IS YOU” project to bring out the best of artists and color society through art.
As part of this initiative, in January 2025 we launched “ON (御)”, a calligraphy/ART online shop where people can encounter calligraphy that enriches life and transforms one’s lifestyle and perspective.
Our mission is not only to showcase the works of calligraphers, but also to unlock the power of calligraphy — its ability to enrich lives and enable self-expression.> “We want to share Japanese calligraphy and calligraphers with the world.”
> “We want to bring calligraphy into people’s lives — to help them appreciate their time and selves more deeply.”From this vision, “ON” presents its second real-world event in Tokyo–Shibuya, exploring the intersection of calligraphy, business, and social impact.
