Kanji Museum

Students visited the Kanji Museum as part of a Japanese class field trip.

Manyougana (Chinese kanji used to write phonetically in Ancient Japan) exhibit

 

The museum employee explains the exhibit

 

A Japanese typewriter! Looks difficult…
On the second floor, there are lots of games. Huang-san is really good at this!

 

Reading the kanji for fish names makes you hungry for sushi!

 

At the workshop, students made stamps of their favorite kanji.

 

雅 (elegant)

 

Will it work?

 

Students also learned some calligraphy.

 

Once you learn to write 永 (eternal), you’ll be able to write anything!

 

It’s a little difficult if you’re left handed.

 

We had a lot of fun!
