SamuraiCalligraphy 戦国時代、世を死と隣り合わせに駆け抜けたサムライとその妻たちが、死に際（死を覚悟）に儚くも美しい書を遺した。 During the Warring States period, samurai and their wives, who ran through the world side by side with death, left behind ephemeral but beautiful calligraphy on their deathbeds (prepared to die). #SamuraiCalligraphy Deathbed calligraphy is something a person writes down with a brush as their last words in this world when they foresee their death and look back on their life so far. #shodo #kanji

Samurai become  For those of us living in today's busy world, learning about the samurai spirit can give us insight into our attitude, attention and focus, and foster the determination needed to achieve our goals to the best of our ability. We must not only carefully consider the words of the Samurai, but we must also act on them. #katana #samuraisword #bushido

Bushido Samurai are born aware of their "honor" The goal of the aspiring samurai was not wealth or knowledge, but honor. Honor is a goal to be pursued "within oneself," without regard to profit or loss. Therefore, "honor" that is concerned with public reputation is not real honor. 〜I have found that bushido means to die〜

In Hinomotoichi's Calligraphy Trial Plan, students do not pick up a brush and start writing immediately after the lesson begins. Instead, we begin by explaining about the culture of calligraphy and the history of calligraphy in Japan. This is because it helps them to better understand the difference between Japanese calligraphy and caligraphy, which is a form of character decoration that also exists in other countries, and to appreciate the beauty of the Japanese language. #calligraphy #kanji #shodo
