calligraphy
::: today's japanese calligraphy lesson with my language partner flew by...watching her perform the brush movements and character sequences with such fluidity and freedom gave me the initial impression that calligraphy was a breeze...i was wrong...it was really hard...you become your own worst enemy, which, according to her, is the point of japanese calligraphy...through the brush strokes and sequence, you come to master your own frustrations and find inner freedom...not sure if i experienced that, but it sure was fun...
...for what it's worth, among the dozens of crumbled up balls of paper, she found two with which she was "happy," calling them my best efforts ("sugoku genki"), the two below...
...on the left, the character for spring (haru)...on the right, the character for cherry blossom (o-hanami)
