  • Summary

  • In this episode I talk about some calligraphy-related activities during my recent trip to Japan:

    • a 1-on-1 calligraphy training session I had with a calligraphy master in Kyoto (Chifumi Calligraphy Kyoto)
    • a visit to a calligraphy exhibit in Kyoto (in Shimadai Gallery)
    • the book hotel in Jinbocho (the city of books) and purchasing a calligraphy dictionary


    The cover image is the final work I made during my calligraphy lesson in Kyoto. It reads 以心伝心 [ishin denshin], which means "communicating without words", or "telepathy".


    By the way, the cover image in Japanesque episodes 1 and 2 is also a work I did of the character 和, meaning "peace" and "Japan".


    Here's the website for the calligraphy classroom I visited: https://calligraphy-kyoto.com/
