This character “愛” (Love) was written by Chi-chan, a 5th grader.

It is the result of many practice sessions.

For the parts that were difficult, I held the brush together with her from behind and wrote alongside her.

She uses a very well-maintained brush.

When I asked her about it, she quietly replied, “At the classroom, I wash it simply, then wash it again and dry it at home.”

I also asked her parents.

They responded, “Yes, she washes it as soon as she gets home. Come to think of it…”

I’m convinced.

This daily care supports Chi-chan’s writing and helps her characters grow strong and confident.

We kindly ask for parents’ cooperation.

Even just two or three times a year, carefully washing the brush with water at home (please refer to the photos below — left is before washing, right is after washing and drying in the shade) and reminding your child to dry the brush in the shade will surely improve their skill and satisfaction.
