Japanese Calligraphy

　I did Japanese Calligraphy that was called "Shodo" today. It's one of traditional Japanese arts, we write words with a brush and ink on a piece of Japanese paper. I learned it from 6 years old to 14 years old, so it's been a while to do it.
　Last Saturday, at the 2nd anniversary United Park Festival, Shodo event was held and I took part in it with my husband. About 20 people gathered to do Shodo in a room. Hannah Tanaka, she is a Japanese calligrapher and teaches Shodo at Shiroganedai in Tokyo, was invited as an instructor for us and taught us how to write it. We were able to write our own favorite words, for example, "走る","俺達","連勝" etc. We enjoyed it so much and we had a very good time. I also enjoyed it and I remembered to take delight in Shodo while I was writing some words with a brush and ink.
　One week passed, I bought a Shodo kit at a shop and then I wrote some words with it. "I see. It's interesting." I thought. My husband also wrote words. We enjoyed it very much again.
