CALLIGRAPHY
Before I begin I have here a little information about Japanese calligraphy or 'shodo' also called 'shūji' is a form of calligraphy, or artistic writing, of the Japanese language. The Chinese roots of Japanese calligraphy go back to the twenty-eighth century BC. In contemporary Japan, shodo is a popular class for elementary school and junior high school students. In high school, calligraphy is one of the choices among art subjects, along with music or painting.
Anyways, I decided to put a ocean wave background design for the calligraphy to pop and it wouldn't look so dull. I chose the quote 'Jigou jitoku' 自業自得 it means "what goes around comes around" or something like 'You get what you deserve'. I'll be showing a video of me doing the process.
I made a little mistake for the calligraphy part but I just covered it with pink paint as if it's a background colour for the calligraphy phrase.

ORIGAMI
Origami or Paper folding is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. The small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs.
Anyways, I made a butterfly ring origami. It seems complicated but it's quite easy if you follow the correct way of folding it. Although i may not use this 'Butterfly Ring Origami' every day but it's kind of cute to be honest. I'll be providing a video me making it (kind of not a tutorial).
ANIME
Anime can refer either to animated works produced in Japan, or to their common visual style. It comes from the english word 'animation'. Characters are more slender and is stylized frim hairstyle, clothes, and even facial expressions.
Anyways, I made a manga version of myself. It doesn't really look like a manga like character though.. I'll be showing a video of me doing the process.
