• That was my feeling with 高橋先生, I miss her.
  • In IV 2025, I had a lesson with Chikako about this scroll:

  • The above one is hers, the below one mine, after some practise with her corrections:
    • Rest the brush long enough on the 3rd stroke of 千 to it's clean and sharp
    • Make the 冂 of the 里 a bit V-shaped, and make sure the bottom line of the 二 inside it is flush with it. Also, the bottom line of the 土 can be quite thick
    • For the 冂 of the 同, make sure the vertical lines are thick, and the horizontal one a bit thinner. The inner 一 above the 口 can be more dot-like
    • Here, it's a 几 around the 風, so it's not V-shaped, but rather the opposite! Also, the last bit of that last stroke should point towards the ノ above the 虫 to give a feeling of continuity.
