First, we will explain what calligraphy is, followed by an explanation of attitudes and tools first. You will better understand the difference between calligraphy as a form of character decoration (caligraphy), which also exists overseas, and Japanese "shodo" (calligraphy). Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that uses brush and ink to express characters artistically, and is appreciated for its neatness, the way the brush is carried, the shade of the ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement of the characters. #kanji #kimono #Calligraphy #tatamiroom #samurai

Graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (now Tokyo University of Science). While working as a doctor, she studied abroad in the United States for research and obtained the USMLE, but in 2009, the birth of her first child and her husband's transfer to Mishima coincided, and she quit the front line of work and experienced lonely childcare in Mishima. Based on her own experience, in addition to her work as a doctor, in 2014 she launched "Mama and Ne" as a child-rearing support project. In 2021, in order to create a place to connect with local residents who are isolated due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we launched the "Ducks Library," a private library with a one-box bookshelf owner that connects interesting people in the community. It has been more than 15 years since I came to Mishima, but without forgetting the perspective of Yosomono, I am fostering "a place to connect with the community through books" together with my friends in this town where Local people and Yosomono intersect. < Organizer> Mishima City Tourism Association ・info@mishima-kankou.com ・055-971-5000
