"The beauty of the Japanese language.

I often hear that the reason why foreigners are interested in the Japanese language is "the beauty of the Japanese language.

Using the calligraphy skills learned through the calligraphy experience, students write their favorite kanji characters on fans and hanging scrolls of their choice.

The master calligrapher will then take the kanji back to your bag with his expert brush strokes.

Since each kanji character has multiple meanings, it is important to know what other meanings they have. Knowing the meaning will make the bag shine.

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.

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.

More than 400 years later, Yukimura Sanada has not forgotten his debt of gratitude and remains loyal.

『恩義を忘れ、私欲を貪ぼり、人と呼よべるか！？』

"Can anyone be called a human being who forgets his debt of gratitude and only thinks well of himself!?"

藤井寺市をご紹介いただきました✨

ご覧いただいた方はぜひ藤井寺市の記事を探してみてください🥰

The sword is the soul of the samurai; it cannot be sold even if it starves to death.

Bushido made the sword a symbol of his power and valor. From an early age, one is taught how to use a sword. He started with a wooden sword, and when he reached the age of 15, he was allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he became aware of his self-respect and sense of responsibility for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street.

 remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death.

Learn Zen in a class of making Japanese sweets and Enjoying Wabicha with wield the brush.
Zen / Wagashi
Yokan, which came to Japan along with Zen, was refined over many years to become a complete Japanese confectionary in the Edo period.
Zen / Tea Ceremony
The tea ceremony was a type of tea ceremony in which Zen ideas were added to the tea ceremony, resulting in the creation of wabicha (a type of tea ceremony).
Zen / Calligraphy
Calligraphy is a way of practicing Zen with a brush, or in other words, a way of writing calligraphy in a state of unmindfulness.

ZEN is basically searching for the truth of who you are.

SAMURAI Armor

Samurai fought fair and square in one-on-one battles, which was the samurai way of fighting. During this time, it was not acceptable for the adversary to initiate a fight. If they did, they were considered "cowards.

#osakacastle #samurai #calligraphy #katana

In Samurai Calligraphy Plan
A samurai is a man of letters and a man of martial arts, studying both arts.
For the Samurai, the way of literature and the way of martial arts are like two wheels on one wheel. Samurai honor, which believes that the way of literature and the way of martial arts are two sides of the same coin, aims at the path of both literature and martial arts through two experiences: Samurai tea ceremony and Samurai calligraphy.
The spirit of the Samurai is a way of life and death, a way of letting go of attachment to life and living in this lifetime. Through Samurai honor, students acquire the spirit of Bushido.

Honoring the Samurai girl

The more onago is bullshit, the more the world will be bullshit.
The stronger you are, the calmer you will be. 
The more you can hang your head and bow low, the more genuine nobility and strength you will acquire.

Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots, and shading enhance its beauty.

There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep one's mind quiet and focused when writing.

冬の季節の風物詩・和歌山県串本町でウツボ干しを撮影しました。干したウツボは細かく切って素揚げにし、家庭によって味は多少違うでしょうが、佃煮風に仕上げます。酒の肴にぴったりで、姿からは想像できませんがおいしいですよ。串本に観光で来られた時には、ぜひ味を試してみてください。
