The Space Waraku

One of my memory of childhood is the practice of calligraphy.  I remember my grandmother tried to teach me how to write when I just entered into the elementary school.  After long years of blank, I try to practice again.  I found out it is really relaxing and calming practice in my hectic life with a small child.  At this moment, this is the practice for myself.   (2009 summer. I.K. )

It has passed 1 and half years since I have started to take the course of calligraphy (brush).  Recently, I have tried the contest of pen writing.  I won the contest...  I felt it was the time to start to take the pen writing course, too.  (Jan. 2011)
