Gift

The man I am helping learn English wanted to give my parents and I a gift.

So he decided to ask his friend the artist (one of the most famous calligraphers in Korea) to make something for us.

This is a Korean fan. The letters he printed on there are in Chinese... but they say "Man should do the will of God." Apparently since Chinese was the language of the educated, that's what most calligraphers write in.

He also made one for me! This one is in Korean. It says "Happiness is in my chest!" It was really cool. I was only sad that I didn't actually get to see him make them.
