NiShuTen 2021 Result 日本習字展結果

 

Yesterday I received the result of Nihon Shuji Exhibition. (We sometime call it Ni Shu Ten as short in Japanese. ) 今年の日本習字展(日習展)の結果が、昨日返ってきました。

It is a public open call exhibition and held biannually. This year I challenged myself by submitting Kaisho (print form) and also spent a month for preparation and practice. 日習展は公募展で、近年では2年に1度開催されています。今年は苦手な楷書で挑戦し、前回よりは練習時間も多く費やして準備しました。

The result was … same. I received Shu Saku Sho again. It is better than not winning any, but I hoped a higher prize, so I have a mixed feeling. 結果は前回と同じ、秀作賞でした。何もないより良いのですが、出来ればより上位の賞を目指していました。半分嬉しいような、でも満足できていないような、、、。

Well, I just need to practice! 練習あるのみのようです。

Thank you for visiting my Shodo blog and let’s level up together!!

Sounded so cool, but not for me

 

This evening I had spare time at Starbucks and tried to use it for pen calligraphy practice. I also thought that doing something at cafe always sounded so cool.

While I was writing, my husband even took a nice shot for my blog. Cool, so cool….

However, it didn’t work. When I am in cafe, I want to eat. I want to drink. I want to chat. After about a half hour, I gave up. I put everything back into my purse and enjoyed my drink, pastries, and nice conversations with my husband.

I should practice…. But not in cafe… it is too cool and delicious for me…

Thank you & level up!
