I now remember, yet again, at one of my exhibitions around a decade ago, someone said to me “Now I see calligraphy forms a really important part in your life.”

The exhibition closed successfully yesterday. I was so happy to welcome more visitors than I had expected. I am now wondering if my mother was this popular among people around her. I am thankful to enjoy so much well-wishing for my late mother and myself in various kinds. Also, I am grateful to those who couldn’t make it because of variety of reasons and said something like “I really wish I could go but…”.
I have spent my days mainly looking after my parents for several years. However, I am now determined to make strenuous efforts to be an excellent calligrapher, with encouragements from many people in mind.
Last but not least, I offer my maximum thanks to the owners of the gallery and the people working in the paperer.

Yesterday was the second day of the exhibition. Lots of people of many different connections with my mother and me visited the venue. Some of the unexpected visitors gave me pleasant surprises.
I hope many more people will come to the gallery today and enjoy the exhibition just as so many people did for the last two days. Today is the last day of this exhibition.

Day 1 has finally come and the venue was filled with plenty of flowers and sweets. What made me happy above all was I got to meet and talk with many people who I haven’t had a chance to meet for long.

The mother daughter exhibition starts today, so we prepared for it yesterday. Or rather, I should put it that kind people around me helped me prepare for it. I hope many people will come and see the exhibition. The photos show how the venue looked yesterday.

At a calligraphy exhibition, I found this lovely idea of creating a work putting initial letters of the names of the mother and her daughter at heads of each line and I really thought it a brilliant idea and tried it myself.
My mother used to use these fans when she was falling asleep on hot summer nights. I hope these will amuse all of you at the exhibition this weekend.

This is kakizome or the first calligraphy of the year my mother wrote at the beginning of one year at the day care facility. One care giver said that he was amazed because all the elderly took a brush and wrote something instantly when he announced, “today, we will do kakizome.” I hope you will enjoy seeing it at the exhibition this weekend.

I tried this way of collaboration with one letter and the last one, that is, written by my mother several times. This one should appear at the exhibition this weekend.

These are my little pieces I wrote thinking of my mother, my poems, someone else’s poem and a little note about how she must be proud of me. However, I just can’t decide whether I should display it at the mother daughter exhibition or not.

I asked my mother to leave lots of calligraphy a little before she turned ninety. However, these will be difficult to be displayed at the mother daughter exhibition.
