Kyouka

Born in 1978 in Fukuoka, Japan, I work as an IT infrastructure engineer. I provide technical software support to the system administrators and engineers who keep the servers running behind the scenes of the internet. Alongside my tech career, I have been practicing Japanese calligraphy (Shodo) for 35 years and hold a Nihon Shuji teaching license. Rather than running my own school, I share insights from a learner's perspective as a dedicated practitioner who has loved learning the art for decades. On this blog, I share a wide variety of topics related to Japanese calligraphy.
