US first lady learns calligraphy at Japanese primary school
TOKYO — U.S. first lady Melania Trump tried her hand Monday at Japanese calligraphy at a Tokyo elementary school.
She visited the Kyobashi Tsukiji school with her Japanese counterpart, Akie Abe. About 300 children welcomed them with a school song.
Trump wrote the first character of the Japanese word for “peace,” as Abe wrote the second.
After Trump’s first stroke, a girl student sitting next to her advised her to hold the brush vertically and explained the order of the strokes.
