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

Located in the town of Shimogo in Japan, Ouchijuku is a famous scenic spot in Aizu-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, and is home to one of Japan's three largest thatched houses, and the village retains the Edo period post station building, and you can feel the feelings left by history. There is also a snow festival in Ouchijuku, which is held in February every year, and when I visited, it was in January, so I couldn't feel the snow festival, but of course there is a tasting of Ouchijuku must eat~ "Ohuchijuku wheat noodles", and it is very interesting to enjoy it instead of chopsticks!

Aizuwakamatsu Castle is dominated by white, making the snowy scenery particularly beautiful.

The Tomi Line in Fukushima Prefecture is known as one of the most beautiful train lines in Japan. In the cold winter, even in the city of Aizuwakamatsu, where it starts, you can enjoy the beautiful snowy scenery of the train and Mt. Bankai.

Located in Yamagata Prefecture in Tohoku Japan, Zao is a skiing mecca with a magnificent landscape of trees and ice. During the visit, in January, a strong cold wind caused the conifers on the mountain to freeze, and the ice gradually formed. At this time, the visibility at the top of Zao Mountain is very low, and the tree ice can only be faintly visible, because the tree ice is shaped like a monster, so the tree ice is also called a snow monster. Photographing the magnificent landscape of the tree ice on the Tree Ice Plateau is not a wasted trip.

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

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. #katana #bushido #honor

The meaning of shogun is the commander of the samurai appointed by the emperor. In modern times, it refers to the position of commanding and directing an army. It is also used as a term of respect for the boss. #shogun #samuraisword #samuraiarmor #bushido

Taken with a mobile phone at Okayama Korakuen. Enlargement is recommended. Nature's colors were beautiful, and the moss on the stones and the color of the lawn over the pond were exactly the colors of winter. It is one of my favorite pieces where you can feel the sunset in the cold air as if illuminating your cheeks
