Renowned Korean calligrapher Han Chang Hwan has been travelling across 54 countries, promoting the Korean language and culture through the art of calligraphy. Yesterday, he visited our New Malden Dojang and held an engaging and inspiring session with our adult black belt members.
During the session, Master Han delivered a fascinating lecture on the history, philosophy, and aesthetic significance of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet. He also personally wrote each member’s name in Korean and presented it to them as a special gift.
Our members not only learned about the origins and philosophy of Hangeul, but also experienced the elegant beauty of Korean calligraphy as a unique form of artistic expression.
Through his work and message, Master Han conveyed powerful values of peace, love, and cultural unity. He encouraged everyone to begin by appreciating and loving their own names, and from there, to embrace a deeper appreciation and love for themselves and for others.
It was a truly memorable and meaningful experience for everyone at New Malden Dojang, and we are grateful to Master Han for sharing his knowledge, artistry, and inspiring message with us.
