Time Out says

A comprehensive look at contemporary calligraphy is in store at Tokyo Sho, an exhibition bringing together 18 groups of artists from the Kanto region and featuring impressive large-scale pieces up to 10m in diameter. Should be a nice offbeat choice for adventurous art enthusiasts, even if you can't actually read the characters.
