Hectic days around the New Year seemed to calm down.

.

Now, it looks like I am getting older and tend to remember the old days more often than when I was younger.

The photo shows one corner of the exhibition site of my first solo exhibition held at the beginning of 2009.  The corner was dedicated to the works by my first calligraphy teacher (the late Mr. Akiyama Kodo 秋山公道) who passed away over 20 years ago at the age of 92.

.

This photo fills my mind with good old memories about him and his wife (the late Mrs. Akiyama Seisetsu 秋山静雪); and their teachings and great love for me.  I am ever so thankful to the couple who showed me this wonderful world of calligraphy that has been the core of my life ever since.
