Persistence, continuity pays off for Japanese calligraphy award winner
Print Edition
EACH year since Grade 4, I have participated in the New Year Japanese Calligraphy Competition. Until now, I have earned the Outstanding Award and Fine Work Award.
This year it was the first time I won the highest honor award so I was really happy. This Japanese calligraphy competition has started in 1960 and has a very long history
I have attended calligraphy lessons once a week since Grade 3, in which I have learned Japanese calligraphy with pencil and calligraphy brush.
At the end of each month, the students submit one assignment. This submission helps a student qualify for the next level examination. I was nervous when it came to the exam, but since I am always determined during the practice, I had the confidence to win the award.
My work means “A refreshing sky in the morning when the sun rose on the first day of New Year.” When I wrote this work, I imagined a sky in which there was a lot of sunshine which was warm and gentle. Simultaneously, I also imagined the morning breeze which was soothing. The sky of the day, filled with blue, did not have a single cloud.
In the azure sky, there were a lot of kites that were gently blown by the wind. The kites were large, small and medium. These were various colors such as pink, purple and blue. Many kites flew in the New Year’s sky.
One of the IB Learner Profile attributes I connected with is being a risk-taker through Japanese calligraphy. I then gained even more confidence when I was awarded the highest honor award. Furthermore, I have learned that showing a persistent attitude will always lead to a good outcome. I truly believe that “continuity is power.”
