Calligraphy Class / Shodo #26 - Nori & Hime - Seaweed & Princess

in Home Edders3 months ago

I had two challenges in Hiragana this time. One reads "Hime" and the other "Nori". It's a bit of strange combination. You can imagine a princess eating some seaweed. :)

This one reads "Hime", which means a princess (a noble lady).

This Hiragana reads "Nori", which means dried seaweed. It's yummy by the way.

Calligraphy in Japanese is called Shodo. I'm using a brush and black ink on special calligraphy paper. The paper is very fine, soft, and the size is bigger than A4. I have white and also brown paper. I like the brown better because my writing looks better on the brown paper.

I'm learning two ways of writing. One is called Kaisho and the other one is Gyosho. I like Gyosho better because it is smooth, and more like art. Kaisho is the proper printed version of writing.

My sensei is always giving me to write simple words in Hiragana and Kanji. My sensei's writing is in orange, and the orange circle that my sensei draws over my writing means that I did well.

Shodo is awesome! I really enjoy it very much. You can try with me if you like.
