Reiwa - a wonderful gift



A wonderful present from one of my Tai Chi students. This amazing woman studies shodō (artistic Japanese writing) and from time to time she amazes me with these wonderful presents! For the end of this spring session, she gave me this paper with the new Japanese era kanji. For this new era was chosen the word: reiwa. Reiwa means beautiful harmony. Rei actually means 'command' or 'decree' and wa means 'harmony' or 'peace'. I love kanjis and the fact that they could mean different things at the same time and that there's something ancient and profound behind them. A really amazing gift!!
