Promo. Calligraphy is often called a set dance of letters. “Justo” Theater enlivens this dance.

Calligraphy is an alive, musical art. To understand its sense it is enough to catch the rhythm…

China, 300 BC
In Ancient China, the nameless prefect of a small jurisdiction arrives at the Qin Emperor's palace. Following a meticulous search for weapons, he is granted an audience with the Emperor, who following an assassination attempt lives alone in his palace, always wearing his battle armor and forbidding visitors from coming within 100 paces of his throne. As Nameless kneels before the Emperor, he displays the weapons of legendary assassins Flying Snow, Broken Sword and Long Sky. The Emperor, impressed with Nameless having killed three of his most feared enemies, invites him to sit within ten paces of his throne and tell his story.
