​One of my American student arranged this workshop for me. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful chance. The workshop abroad for the local people whom I've never met and at the venue where I've never been made me nervous of course! I was the host of this event but felt that I was very welcomed by people working for Enmanji Temple and the participants surrounded by the warm atmosphere. I felt like I've known them so long. They were truely nice people! Teaching Japanese calligraphy brought me here, Sebastapol, to connect me with these wonderful people!
