She chose to write the words, \u697d (Merry), \u9032 (Proceed), and \u5411\u4e0a (Progress).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each kanji carried such positive energy and determination. As she carefully moved the brush across the paper, I felt her hopeful feelings for the new year reflected beautifully in her writing. It was truly moving to see her express her thoughts through these uplifting words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sincerely hope that this year brings her happiness, growth, and many joyful moments.<br>Thank you very much for visiting Oh! Mama again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our calligraphy experience takes place in a real Japanese home near Shibuya, offering a peaceful and personal moment to connect with Japanese culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are visiting Tokyo and wish to experience something calm and inspiring, we would be happy to welcome you.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5726_79dc94-a6{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5726_79dc94-a6 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5726_79dc94-a6\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5726_01f208-ea.kb-button{width:initial;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5726_01f208-ea kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/book.squareup.com\/appointments\/gqefrwfbl5s0ky\/location\/LBMFBB7RS9R7P\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Book a Private Shodo Session<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, I welcomed a lovely guest to our Japanese c&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[41,37,39,45,38],"class_list":["post-5726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-customers","tag-afternoontea","tag-calligraphy","tag-culturalexperience","tag-shodo","tag-tokyo"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5726"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5751,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5726\/revisions\/5751"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
