I am unsure if you are serious or not. We used telephone pages to practice and practice certain strokes. This young chinese man taught calligraphy and also Mandarin. He was a lovely teacher and most encouraging. He lives here in UK in a cottage close to the sea in SUSSEX. I Unfortunately I could not afford many private lessons.
I did go to a one day class in japanese writing-- it was primarily hiragana a day is not long enough.
Yes I am sure that to achieve excellent art work would take many years of study and practice. One needs to be dedicated which is true of all great arts really.
I wish you well in all that you are doing. It will be well worth while.
where to find a teacher? I wonder.

i am sorry if i sounded as i am being sarcastic, no, i was dead serious. I meant that he must have been a great guy. Most important for him was to show you how to write and share the knowledge. I think that is remarkable.
To find a teacher? Well, depends where you are located. Are you in Japan? If yes, I could help you find one.
