JPN Level II students"

Students tried the art of "shodo", a Japanese calligraphy. The art of "shodo was originated in China and introduced to Japan around the 6th century. Each student picked his/her favorite kanji characters such as 川 meaning 'river' and wrote them on a piece of special paper called 'hanshi' with an ink-dipped brush. They seemed to have enjoyed this cultural activity.
