Then we practiced some simple shodo calligraphy strokes, before working on yume/ mu 夢 for dream or vision, a fascinating kanji character containing combined parts such as evening and eye.

Connecting with the poetry, we also enjoyed trying out the character for autumn aki 秋 which contains the distinctive fire character.
