I’m taking a class in Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy). This is my first character. It means “A”. This is the best rendition I have done.

This is the calligraphy done by my teacher Kato San (Mr. Kato). His is alot better than mine, but then again his works are shown in art musuems.

This calligraphy character means “night”.

This is the same character done by Kato San. I wish I can do shodo as good as he.

Kato San did this one at the craft fair for Sam. It says “samu”. The first character “sa” means “spiritered” and the second character “mu” means “samuria”.
