この進化に、姪自身も納得です。こうなると、もっとうまくできそうな気がしてきてしまうもの。(笑)
昨日、ほとんど触れていなかった文字も、今日の練習で一層の進歩を見せました。それぞれの文字に対する意識の変化が、彼女のメタ認知能力を高め、さらなる向上への道を切り拓いたようです、
また、書道の真髄は、一筆で完結させること。失敗を感じた瞬間にバランスを取り戻す技術を私の妹が熱心に教えていました。これは単なる書道の技術を超え、彼女のメンタルの強化にも繋がる重要な武器となるでしょう。
さらに、「学校の宿題の分は、そこそこのを持って行き、周りを油断させよう」という、おばさんたちの悪知恵は、姪を笑わせました。(笑)
この後、上質なすき焼きが夕食として用意されており、「もう金賞を獲得したパーティーのようだね！」と笑いながら、私たちはこの前祝いを楽しみました。
最後に片付けです。姪は筆と、私の妹が所有している普通の1.5倍の大きさの硯を洗っていました。さらに彼女が普段使う学校の硯も持ってきて、「これも洗う！」と意気込みました。普段は手を付けなかった硯を、今日は自ら進んで丁寧に洗う姪の姿に、心の成長を感じました。そして念には念を。あと１日だけ特訓をします！
Grade 6 Calligraphy Training Day 2
Today wasn't a day for calligraphy training, so I went to watch the movie "The Reason I Went to Space" at the cinema. It documented the process leading up to Mr. Maezawa's space journey, including his rigorous training and studies. It's a documentary from launch to return on the Soyuz, and I shed tears of emotion.
"Does going to space change one's outlook on life?" Mr. Maezawa was often asked in interviews. Initially, he was somewhat resistant, saying, "Does it have to change?" But as time passed, he became more interested in "the importance of small things in daily life" rather than achieving big things. I very much empathize with that.
After the movie, feeling refreshed, I went for a walk. That's when my sixth-grade niece called. She said, "I managed to practice calligraphy today!" So, unexpectedly, we changed plans to make it Calligraphy Training Day 2, especially since my sister, a great teacher, was also there.
As a snack, I bought Lindt white chocolate, starting with a reward. (Laugh) We began in high spirits. First, a warm-up sheet, then watching my sister write in real-time. While filming, I did live commentary with my niece, which seemed to help her absorb what to focus on better than just watching.
You can see the teacher writing on YouTube, but watching the actual movement of the hands is far more effective for learning. And then, when my niece tried writing right after, her writing had significantly evolved from Day 1!
Her writing changed dramatically, feeling more alive and dynamic than the textbook-style characters printed on the school-issued paper, which my sister had written.
My niece was satisfied with this progress. It made her feel like she could do even better. (Laugh) The characters she barely touched yesterday showed significant improvement today. This change in her approach to each character seemed to enhance her meta-cognitive abilities, paving the way for further improvement.
In calligraphy, the essence is to complete in one stroke. My sister was earnestly teaching her how to regain balance immediately after sensing a mistake. This goes beyond mere calligraphy skills; it's a vital tool for mental strength.
Additionally, our aunt's cunning plan to "bring a mediocre homework to school and catch others off guard" made my niece laugh. (Laugh)
Then, for dinner, we had exquisite sukiyaki, jokingly celebrating as if we had already won the gold prize. Finally, it was time for cleanup. My niece washed the brush and my sister's inkstone, which is one and a half times the size of a regular school inkstone. She even brought her own school inkstone, insisting, "I'll wash this too!" Usually reluctant to touch these, her proactive approach today showed her personal growth. And just to be sure, we'll have one more day of special training!
