Through my calligraphy courses, I learned the basics of shod\u014d, how to write simple and more complex kanji, and finished the course creating two pieces on a canvas completed with my signature in katakana, and a red seal. While the early classes were very slow and awkward, I grew more comfortable with my ability to write and talk with others, and coming to the end of my classes is a bittersweet moment. I was happy to have finished the course with two pieces to take back with me, \u7af9 &#8211; a gift for my Aunt Take, and \u5e78 &#8211; happiness which I will keep for myself. If any incoming students are interested in learning Calligraphy, I would recommend it. However, if you are looking to talk with students close in age, or want to make quick progress, I would suggest a different CIP as this is not a fast paced learning experience, and the majority of students are much older. Overall I enjoyed my time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoukei-shodou.com\/\">Shoukei Shodo School<\/a>, and I may return for another class if I return to Kyoto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my CIP I chose to attend \u8c61\u5553\u66f8\u9053\u6559\u5ba4 (Shoukei Shodo School) to learn calligraphy.
