In China calligraphy is a high form of art that is mostly excercised by buddhist monks. This picture was taken in a small buddhist temple near the "first bend of the Yangtse" in the province of Yunnan.

Hey Heer de Jong, looks like Joop Brons in the old Profimarket-studio, making 'A-kaarten' or something like that. 'Lakschrijven', that's the word! See you, old chap. O.

Artist Reply: Heer van Oijen, I see what you mean, looking back into our joint past. Funny that I didn't see the link before you told me cos it's very obvious. By the way; another word was "pieperen", although that was done with markers! See you. JJ.
