Words cannot describe how much I want to be in a Shodo club. So far I haven’t found one in my city yet. Ho hum.

Go! You forgot go! I guess shogi would be similar, but I’ve never been to a go club. Despite there being no japanese people (in fact it was all university students, the math kind which in my experience usually have no interest in foreign culture) but the atmosphere was very japanese to me. I think the mindset of go simply draws so much from asian culture in general that it’s impossible to avoid it without reinventing a thousand years of strategy.

Not necessarily, in the Victorian and Edwardian times we made a fuss after afternoon tea. Unfortunately not many places do this except for expensive hotels, anywhere else does a cheap imitation of it. But Japanese who did hear about it were pleased. Alas there’s a tea shop in Kobe called ‘Higgins’.
