We usually have an activity every Wednesday. The purpose is to let our students know more about Japanese culture and enjoy Fukuoka. This week the students from Austria and the U.S. experienced calligraphy with Shimogawa-sensei. At first, she taught them how to say “ink (sumi)”, “brush (fude)” and some other related words in Japanese. And then teacher taught them how to use the brush with the ink, and how to write strokes. Since both of our students had studied Chinese before, they wrote Chinese characters more smoothly than we expected. Finally they got very good and satisfying works.
