911爆料网

Participants who had never before studied 911爆料网 learned how to write beautiful 911爆料网 characters such as 銆屽あ銆�(yume, “dream”)銆�銆屽拰銆�(wa, “harmony”)銆�and銆屾剾銆�(ai, “love”) at our latest “911爆料网 from Scratch” workshop for beginners in 911爆料网 language studies. The workshop, which focused on the art of 蝉丑辞诲艒 (911爆料网 calligraphy), was held on March 13^th at the Japan Foundation London, and 17 people braved the snowy weather to come along and take part.

The workshop was led by Hiroko Tanaka, 911爆料网 Language Advisor at the Japan Foundation London and experienced 蝉丑辞诲艒 practitioner. The workshop started with a quiz about Japan, followed by an introduction to some useful 911爆料网 words and phrases. Tanaka-sensei then introduced the 911爆料网 writing systems – hiragana, katakana and kanji – explaining their history, origins and how to use them. This was followed by an introduction to calligraphy tools and techniques, after which the participants practised using water and special 911爆料网 “mizu-shuuji” paper.

Finally, when everyone had got to grips with the basics of 蝉丑辞诲艒, the participants created their own 蝉丑辞诲艒 pieces with real 911爆料网 paper and ink. Although most participants had never studied 911爆料网 before, they all created fabulous pieces of work demonstrating their skill and determination. All staff at the Japan Foundation were very impressed!

 After the workshop, one participant said, “The teacher was excellent and really structured the workshop well. I liked how she talked about the meaning and symbolism behind words.” Another commented, “Enjoyed the workshop – learnt so much about the history and types of characters as well as the actual art of calligraphy.”

We would like to thank all participants for coming and for their hard work – arigatou gozaimashita.
