I have the great honor of taking Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) from one of the best teacher of any subject I have ever encountered. In addition to learning this fascinating subject, I have learned a great deal about the Japanese culture, language, unique topics such as Kotodama and mostly, learned a lot about myself.
Izumi san is a true fine artist at heart. Aside from exquisite skills, her manner of speaking is a blend of philosophy and poetry. That is what happens when you follow your Tao, your way and speak from the heart.
Regarding this tragedy in Japan. . . . she posted the following:

Wow! Very strong, inspiring words for all of us, under ANY conditions.
Domo arigato Izumi san.
