I had an impressive dream of a young and very gentle-looking deer coming into my house.

.

And…voilà!  Combination of an ancient character and the one used today for “deer”, my favorite!

Someone liked these very much and offered to buy them from my shop on eBay.

.

Now, I am determined to expand the selection of my calligraphic works in my online shop.

The other day, I enjoyed visiting an exhibition of a calligraphy group specializes in kana characters, or Japanese phonogram.  This style of calligraphy has a long history and many fans even today.

.

Firstly, the scene of many pieces with a same kind of touch was “new” to me.  For, my teachers and fellow students quite naturally do both “kana” and “kanji” or Chinese characters calligraphy.

.

However, I didn’t feel any monotonousness in the negative sense.

.

Quite the contrary, the venue itself looked like one big piece of kana calligraphy art, with its refined, elegant atmosphere.

.

One more thing that I have noticed there was the sincere effort to be good from both the teacher’s side and the students’ side.

.

Now, I am looking forward to seeing the next exhibition of this group.

This character is often used when celebrating weddings and longevity.

.

However, I once heard it should accommodate to any kind of happy occasion, sort of an almighty character, if you will.

.

I tried writing the letter on this little unusually shaped paper.

.

I am going to attach this little piece to little presents to friends, wishing for their happiness.
