I hated calligraphy when I was in elementary school😓

After 40 years,

Day 9 with a brush

(The day of holding the brush is converted to one day)

Calligraphy third grade me,

I quit calligraphy in 5th grade because I hated it 😓

I don't want you to praise me or evaluate me.

I wrote me now.

I am expressing freely without being conventional.

For the first time in a month, I felt different ✨

Without practice,

📲 looking for a model and writing it as a reference, no redoing.

... Read more私も子どもの頃、書道は苦手で、先生からの厳しい指導や型にはまった練習に何度も挫折した経験があります。しかし、大人になってから改めて筆を持つと、新しい発見や表現の楽しさが見えてきました。 特に、スマホやタブレットで手本を探せる現代はとても便利で、好きな書体やメッセージを見つけ、気軽にマイペースで練習できるのが大きな魅力です。筆先の感触を確かめながらそのまま書き進められる自由さは、かつての堅苦しさとは全く異なります。 また、文字をただ正しく書くのではなく、自分の思いを込めて「型にはまらずに自由に表現」できることで、書道が単なる趣味ではなく自己表現の手段になります。私も40代に差し掛かった頃から、この「自由な書道」を楽しみ始め、日々のストレス発散や集中力アップに役立てています。 40年ぶりに筆を持って挑戦することは勇気がいるかもしれませんが、失敗を恐れずに楽しむ気持ちが大切です。書いた文字から自分の心境や変化を感じられることは、何物にも代えがたい体験だと実感しています。 筆文字を通じて、自分らしさを再認識し、年齢に関係なく新しい挑戦を楽しむ、そんなライフスタイルもまた素敵だと思います。ぜひ同じように書道から遠ざかっていた方にも、もう一度筆を持つ機会を作ってほしいと感じます。

PART 1 Markers I use for calligraphy ✨🖋️🗒️
I know they’re not real calligraphy markers, but when I was younger I didn’t have calligraphy markers so I got creative! They’re great for notes for school, making cards for special occasions, and of course, coloring :) #stationery #lemon8challenge #firstpost

Calligraphy for People Who Think They Can’t
Get yours from my bio! ✍️💕 I used to think lettering like this was only for people with talent. Turns out, slow tracing changed everything. There’s something really calming about following the lines, one stroke at a time. No pressure to be perfect. No rushing. Just letting your hands slow you
