Sometime ago, I had an impressive dream. In that dream, a number of horses were running energetically. It was a really pleasant dream. The weather was fine and the world was bright. And all the horses looked very happy.

I put small postcard size works into a large frame. Then, they don’t look like just postcards, oddly enough.

I practiced calligraphy following the models by my teacher that he left many years ago.
.
These are the same lines from a poem by Li Bai in two different writing styles.
.
I just wonder how I managed to practice these difficult tasks when I was a high school student.
