I did some copying practice of my first teacher’s samples that he wrote for me more than fifty years ago.
.
However, I have no memories at all about practicing these when I was a six grader. I only remember he was a very kind teacher.
.
Still, the books of samples he gave me are such invaluable treasures for me all through my life.

風景異化 I read somewhere it means a scenery may look different to a different beholder, I am not sure if this interpretation is accurate, though.
.
What is certain is that somehow it reminded me of a literary term “intentional fallacy” I learned years and years ago as a student.

Someone came over and offered this flower arrangement for my mother who loved to see white flowers and passed away in February.
.
I only wish she had survived to see these beautiful flowers.
.
Live for today/
See white flowers/
Oh, the month of February/

Something new happens today.

In the mountains/
Spring approaches slowly/

It shows “the place happiness is”.
.
I wrote this to dedicate to a very good, longtime friend of mine from high school days who has always been really supportive of me when I was going through hard times, and whose name begins with this letter 幸 or happiness.

Ordinarily, it should have been a peaceful morning.

Oh, rain in spring/
Without any second thoughts/
THE virus/

“A caterpillar changes into a butterfly.”

Ordinarily, it should be the most exciting, delightful season. However, it has never been like that this year.

My ideal as a calligrapher
.
What I desperately want are: the beauty of vibrancy of the lines and the beauty of the blank parts.
.
However, both of the above are so hard to obtain.
.
The photo shows “vibrancy”.
