About the host
Makiko Y.
I started calligraphy at 6 to get best prize while in school. I run a calligraphy school at Funabashi city, chiba prefecture, and go to kindergartens in Tokyo regularly to teach children calligraphy. At my school, students rub India ink by themselves. I want students to think about themselves thorough calligraphy. Calligraphy is familiar with yoga or zen in part. Recent activities: Appeared on TV which introduces the Japanese’ manner as a calligrapher. Exhibiting my works at calligraphy gallery at Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto.
