Japanese Calligraphy & Drawing workshop

10/30/2017

We just had the last day of "Japanese Calligraphy Strokes as Art" workshop at Art Students League of Denver, four Saturdays taught with Munugattai (Homare Ikeda). Thank you for the wonderful group with enthusiastic & creative people. We truly enjoyed this workshop and were also amazed by seeing the progresses!

Japonesque

9/17/2017

Yesterday I was at a Japonesque Kumadori collection's promotional event at ULTA Beauty store as a calligrapher, and got those photos (video) taken :)
After attending this fun event where I made calligraphy pieces for the customers, I became eager to want to learn how to make up well!
お化粧品のプロモイベントの書道コーナーでお仕事させてもらった後、ちゃんとしたお化粧の仕方を習得したくなった…やっぱ、美容にももっと気を遣わないとならんね〜。

Fun Shodo Workshop!

8/26/2017

For the past two Saturdays, I had a wonderful time at shodo (Japanese calligraphy) workshop with beautiful people at Art Students League of Denver. 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！
