Artist (shodo-ka)

Ms. Masayo Tokuda, our shodo (Japanese calligraphy) master was born in 1959 in Ichinomiya City in central Japan. She still lives in her born place. She started to learn calligraphy when she was a five-year old girl. Since then, she has practicing shodo and won several prizes in Japan.

Shodo is an art to express one's thoughts, emotions and messages in the form of characters and words. It is important to select the best combination of pen, paper, ink, style, etc. to reflect what is to be expressed. It is a fun to get what I'd like to get.
