I'd like to learn calligraphy if I lived in Japan!

That would be a really wonderful experience! I think that it would be a unique way of connecting with Japan's culture.

What an amazing opportunity for people in and around Osaka to see these historic texts. I'd love to see Miyamoto Musashi's shrike with my own eyes.

I see that. Admission is ¥600? Hm, maybe a Kansai trip this autumn...
