You did a great job painting your characters with authentic materials such as horse hair brushes, special paper and ink. Did you know that the ink for Japanese calligraphy is not in liquid form? It begins as a solid stick, a compressed mixture of vegetable soot and glue that the calligrapher grinds with some water on a special ink stone to produce liquid ink. I also thought it was interesting that there are 52 &#8216;letters&#8217; in the Japanese &#8216;alphabet&#8217; which the ladies used to help you write your name.

Let me know your thoughts about the workshop today. What did you learn, observe or like? Did you notice that the characters were written from right to left instead of left to right? It is the opposite of how we write the English language.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.38.08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-1638\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.38.08-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2015-02-03 10.38.08\" width=\"205\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.43.36.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1641 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.43.36-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2015-02-03 10.43.36\" width=\"224\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.37.56.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-1637\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.37.56-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2015-02-03 10.37.56\" width=\"206\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.42.23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1640 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/mannm\/files\/2015\/02\/2015-02-03-10.42.23-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2015-02-03 10.42.23\" width=\"224\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sure did enjoy the calligraphy workshop that Ms. Lee and the other ladies gave to us today.
