The participants may be worn out by repeated practice of each stroke/character, but everyone, new and returning, were VERY enthusiastic throughout the workshop. In this workshop, the final pieces were chosen from several kanji (Chinese) characters, hiragana or katakana (Japanese alphabet) words. I had a great time at the workshops. Thank you. 今回の書道ワークショップでも楽しい時間を過ごせました。感謝です。

I always enjoy teaching shodo and share my love♡. In this workshop, we practiced five kanji characters; 土 (tsuchi = soil or earth), 山 (yama = mountain), 友 (tomo = friend), 花 (hana = flower) and 愛 (ai = love), then all the students wrote (drew) those characters with their preferred ways. Lastly, we, 12 students and me, collaborated a kanji LOVE (愛) with one stroke per person. Thank you (Arigato) everyone ♡♡♡ ! 今回のワークショップも楽しかった。ありがとうございました！ My husband Homare Ikeda and I will be participating in the upcoming group art exhibit "Alone + Together" at Art Gym Denver starting next Thursday, April 27 (till May 20).
