[Osaka] Learning Bushido & Zen at Samurai Calligraphy by Osaka Castle

■These resignation poems strongly reflect the views of life of the people who wrote them. -The phrase “I am a Samurai,” which was written by samurai who lived in a time when they did not know what tomorrow would bring, is a painful reminder of the transient nature of life. However, their resignation poems are not about lamenting for their own selves. ■Unlike ordinary calligraphy where you keep your mind quiet, concentrate, and face a half sheet of paper by yourself, they write on a huge whole sheet of paper with a heavy brush. This writing process is expressed as a performance. In addition, children's calligraphy is sure to surprise and impress you because there are expressions that adults can never do.
