I have met and shared with many of you over the years. Your kind
friendships and the sharing of so much knowledge has been an
inspiration. It is with great sadness that I must tell you that my
dear husband of 45 years passed away yesterday morning.

Dear Marilynn - words cannot express the sadness that comes
from this news - all I can do is offer my most heartfelt
sympathy......may you be stout of heart in facing the
grieving time ahead of you - hopefully, memories of the
happy shared time over those 45 years will help.

Subject: Excellent Amateur Woodblock Printing and Calligraphy from all over Japan

Woodblock print from all-Japan amateur show in Tokyo.

I happened to stumble onto two simultaneous nationwide exhibitions of competitive amateur calligraphy and woodblock prints when I was in Tokyo to meet with the other participants in the printing course. The attached photos are from these shows which were held in the ‘citizen’s galleries’ of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. The semicircular calligraph is an ancient one for the rainbow (nishi in Japanese) and the others were ancient, simple ones that have modern equivalents. A Chinese friend could read them sort of and get the jist of what was written. The woodblock print of the woman spinning wool was just one of many excellent ones, 18 rooms full of them. Most remarkable.
