Calligraphy.

My calligraphy teacher's teacher from Tokyo came down to Kobe to do a workshop with all 30 of her students.

Everyone watched intently for 2 and a half hours. I was one of 4 men, one of 2 people under 30, and the only foreigner. I fit in just perfectly.

The master at work (from behind).

My teacher (the woman) and her teacher (the man).

This is the model pattern that he wrote for me.
