I also think learning Japanese culture is significant, as Yukiko said.
I learned calligraphy when I was a elementary student, but I didn't like it. I didn't have calm mind. However, I could learn concentration through learning calligraohy. Although I retired from learning calligraohy, I had a valuable experience, I think.
I also played playing card(Karuta). I think it is one of the Japanese tradditional plays. In Saitama, there is a local Karuta which is called Saitama Kyoudo Karuta. I was elected a representative of my area. I didn't win the game, but I enjoyed it.
I think there are a lot of Japanese culture which I haven't known yet, so I want to have good experiences and learn more Japanese culture.
