Which to choose 懇親会用

Tomorrow, we students of our calligraphy school will have a convivial luncheon gathering.

Our teacher told us to bring a work to be displayed at the venue and now I am wondering which to choose.

明日のお昼はお弟子仲間の懇親会。

会場に飾るために作品を持って来なさいと先生がおっしゃったのですが、どちらにしようかな。

I love taking calligraphy lessons!  お稽古、楽しい!

These are the results of today’s practice session; copying practice and having a fun writing on a paper fan.  For the latter, I chose the first letter of my mother’s name, 絹(silk).

Special practice session 特別稽古日でした

I was really glad to meet with someone from abroad for the first time in years today, and to have a chance to practice calligraphy together as well.  I have kept wishing that the people from abroad to be familiar with this culture and art.  I wish to convey what I got from my great teacher who I fortunately met as a child as far as ever possible.

今日は、久し振りにお目にかかった方と、ご一緒にお稽古もしました。海外の人々にこの文化を知ってほしいという想いは持ち続けています。子供の頃に、本当に偉い師匠から頂いたものを出来るだけ遠くまで伝えたい。

Step by step 時間かかりそう・・・

 

 

The rainy season may have ended already.  However, here is something traditionally attached to the season.  This piece shows a popular combination as a motif for a calligraphy work, that is, Mt. Fuji and a snail.

もう明けてしまったかも知れませんが、梅雨の風物と富士山とカタツムリ、という人気の取り合わせ。
