I tried another copying practice of my teacher’s work, which means “to make maximum effort”.  I did this thanking my great fortune to have had such a distinguished calligrapher as a teacher again.  For, he practiced copying thoroughly and so hard not only ancient Chinese great works but calligraphy by excellent calligraphers in old times in Japan.  Thus, his calligraphy has every essence of all kinds of calligraphic techniques.  As a matter of fact, it is the best thing in my life.

願ってもない先生に出会ったことに何度も感謝しつつ師の書の臨書をしました。先生は、中国の古典も日本の優れた先人の書も徹底的に臨書されているので、先生の書にはその全てのエッセンスが含まれています。それで実のところ、私はまことにラッキーなのです。
