Student Master Calligraphers:

Koshu’s students have started taking the Japanese calligraphy grading exams through the Bunka Shodo-Gakkai (based in Tokyo) since 2012. Today 30 students have joined the brush lettering calligraphy category, and 8 students have entered the pen lettering calligraphy category, working hard towards various grades. 12 of them are already “Dan” grade holders. It is challenging especially to those who are non-Japanese speakers, but Koshu has been supporting her students, challenging them and pushing their potential.

紅秋の教室では、2012年より東京の文化書道学会を通し、検定試験を始めました。現在では毛筆部門に30名、硬筆部門に8名が登録し真剣に取り組んでいます。そのうち現在12名が有段者です。 言葉の壁は大きくかなりのチャレンジですが、師範を目指す生徒の想いに答えられるよう、真剣に取り組みサポートをしています。
