Hello All,
This is my first post to this site and I'm really hoping someone will be able to help.
-
I've studied Aikido for 8 years, and am almost ready to test for my 1st dan (Shodan) rank. My sensei would also like me to study calligraphy with him, since I've shown an interest to each painting he has done for others.
-
The other day, I asked him if he would paint me a calligraphy as a Shodan reward if I were to pass my test. He said, "With pleasure... and I already know what I'd paint for you."
-
I was THRILLED... until... as with many Japanese-born teachers, I have to identify what he plans, before he will do it.
Attached are the characters he had in mind... I'm hoping someone will be able to help me identify them.
-
Please Help!
