You are so lucky!

I am seriously fascinated with the Japanese culture. Origami looks really fun. I'll have to learn that as well.

I am currently teaching myself Japanese. I need to find a class to attend...

We did this in art once before.. and that was before I knew any of them. The only character I recognize all the time is 'dog' ^^; That's the only one I could draw, 'cuz I was really bad...

ugh I wish my home computer was working...

I'd scan my calligraphy for you guys. I went to the Japanese festival earlier this year, and they had a calligraphy booth. I wrote the symbol for "music."

I've been meaning to frame it and bring it to work with me, too...

anyway, ever since then I've wanted a calligraphy set.

2Shaelyn: as soon as that computer of yours gets fixed please post your calligraphy

I'm practicing kanji.."Kanji a day" it's like a calendar ...each day tells u what to write then u practice few times and then next day tells u another word related to the day before
