Thank you for joining our Japanese calligraphy experience the other day. It was a true pleasure to welcome you to our peaceful, traditional tatami room in Ikenoue, just 5 minutes from Shibuya station by a local train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A kanji chosen was\u300c\u5fcd\u300d, which means \u201cpatience\u201d, \u201cendurance\u201d, or \u201cperseverance.\u201d This character is composed of two parts \u2014 “blade” (\u5203) and \u201cheart\u201d (\u5fc3) \u2014 it seems to symbolize bearing hardship with a calm and strong heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Japanese culture, particularly among once-existed-samurai, patience has been highly valued in their life. The same kanji is also used in the word \u201cninja\u201d, reflecting their personalities; stay hidden, silence, and endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a digital world where handwriting is rare, taking time to form this character slowly by hand can be a meditative and meaningful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were so happy to share this special moment with you. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
