I appreciate the artistic look of Japan's 3 alphabet types. The Calligraphy Instructor taught me how to create ink, use large brush, I practiced many symbols. I made a tapestry for hanging of a favorite Japanese phrase. The school also has classes to make artsy personalized chop sticks. And the school large windows show big views of the City AND of Godzilla! A wonderful class!
