Event

I’ll bring my calligraphy set to 38c3. Let’s enjoy each brush strokes as meditation - inhale, exhale, 100% concentrate on the tip of your brush as feeling scent of the black ink.

Current plan:

• Firstly, you choose what you want to write. It can be scripts in your language, or Chinese/Japanese characters from text books I bring with. I personally recommend you to write your resolution for 2025, which is called “書き初め Kakizome” in Japan.
• Practice strokes using a brush with water on a reusable paper.
• Lastly, write the characters using brush and ink on a paper. You can take the paper with you after the ink is dried, or you could put it on wall.

Note: We will use black ink, which makes a quite mess. Your clothing should be suitable for this meetup since it’s almost impossible to remove it from textiles once it absorbs.

Myself: I’ve never been teaching calligraphy but learnt it for 10 years while childhood. Calligraphy is just a hobby for myself, but I would love to share time with someone who’s also interested in it.
