Miho Araki
A brush full of precious calligraphy ink doesn’t combine too well with chasing a four year old and watching a cooing infant. So traditional Japanese calligraphy expert Miho Araki takes her two little ones to childcare once a week, and then launches into her paintings and designs.
"Its not something I can stop and start," Miho says of her work.
"I need to be at it for a full day."
Miho says she "never stood a chance" to resist when it came time for her to start lessons at the age of five. Her mother has achieved the prestigious status of calligraphy master in native Japan.
After years of study at the calligraphy desk, which takes firm discipline to conquer, Miho gave it all away, until she moved to Australia in 1989, met her husband, Dean Leitch, and revealed to him her skills.
