Are you already enjoying your Shodo practice in a warm cozy room with some candles on?!
When it comes to practising Shodo, Autumn and Winter seasons are great for us to refind a inner silence and develop a deeper sense of mindfulness.
Today I post a perfect seasonal Otehon for here and now.
Otehonn text “shimobashira 霜柱”
: しもばしら/ シモバシラ
-English: Frost pillar, Frost columns
-German: Frost Kristalle, Raureif
2 Kanjis;
-霜 shimo : Frost
-柱 bashira : Column, Pillar
-Level: beginner to intermediate
-Brush size: medium to big, for both hard and soft haired
Technical Tips:
– make sure the difference between the side brushing and the direct brushing
– a clear 1-2-3 movement in the corner techniques
– left Harai technique, always wait for the cursive point.
– check all types of bending strokes
– check the middle line and composition balance
Enjoy your Shodo hours”
Happy Practice!
Arigato,

Despite the chilly frosty wind, all came to “calligraphy-ing” yesterday!
Thanks very much to everyone who attended the workshop.
All did wonderful practice!
I am very glad to get to know and to teach such mindfulness people!
Next workshop is on Sunday, the 4th. December. With the theme ” Winter & for Christmas cards”
Calligraphy texts will be all winter-feeling inspired. Besides our calligraphy practice, I will provide a pair of blank cards. So if you want, you can either do calligraphy on the cards, or fix an extra calligraphy paper on- as you get inspired towards the end of the workshop. It would be an unique card for Christmas.
For sign up, please send me a direct mail.
