Jiun · 自運 · VD7B
Jiun (自運) is the calligrapher's word for writing from one's own invention. As a Shihan, Master Takase has a hand of her own, and these designs are that hand: she draws freely on the classic scripts to create exactly the look she wants.

Description
Cry in the dojo - Laugh on the battlefield in Japanese is 道場で泣き戦場で笑う which is read dōjō de naki, senjō de warau
道場で泣き戦場で笑う (dōjō de naki, senjō de warau): weep in the dojo, laugh on the battlefield.
道場で泣き戦場で笑う is a martial-arts wording of a Japanese maxim of training: hard training now, for the sake of the real thing later. The maxim is a coach's precept in Japanese sport, and men who trained in the war recalled it in later years. The tears are the ones spent in training, and the laughter is kept for the day that counts. Where your battlefield lies is yours to say.
We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 道場で泣き戦場で笑う.
