New Year’s Kanji

New Years Kanji

今年初めての毛筆&硬筆のお稽古に行った際、2人で書きぞめをしました!
小学生以来の習字は難しく思い通りに書けなかったけど、久しぶりの習字は楽しかったです。
私は新年の抱負として「健康」という字を選び、Davidはと~っても難しい「心」という漢字を選びました!

(David: I couldn’t translate that, but I will explain! It is tradition to write out a word or a phrase (in Kanji, Japanese/Chinese Characters) at New Years to bring good luck, happiness etc. Kiko and I both go to calligraphy class on Tuesday so we wrote out these for our New Year’s Kanji. Kiko wrote “health”. I wrote “heart.” Kiko’s is very good. Mine is fabulous. (Unless you are Japanese and recognize that is most certainly not fabulous. I guess it is more fabulous for ME, taking in to consideration my skill with handwriting in any language.) I wrote heart because it is the only one I could remember.)
