Scenery of inn Accommodation at Himi
On the rainy Coast, I got up early aiming for the Tateyama mountain range in the early morning, but it was raining, so I took pictures of the fishing port from the inn

When children learn calligraphy, they learn to write beautifully. The benefits are especially great if they start learning before they start developing habits, so if they start by around age 5, they may have beautiful writing for a lifetime.
In addition, calligraphy, as an ancient Japanese art, also teaches manners such as greetings and respect.
