Calligraphy

Post by Daniel »

Anyone else like 書道?

I just joined a calligraphy class a week or so ago. Class is 1 hour per week. I love looking at calligraphy, but I myself am very, very bad at it. :)

Don't laugh...! (OK, that's probably not possible, but just don't make any posts writing out "ha ha ha ha" :) )

They have calligraphy pens that you squeeze for ink. Just place the cap back on when you're done. The flow is always even, so very convenient. Will you be learning calligraphy art, like drawing bamboo trees and such? My lovely grandma-in-law (I call her "yasashii obaa-chan," which is in contrast to my wife's other grandma, whom I secretly call "urusai obaa-chan") taught me how to do some calligraphy painting. She's wonderful.
