I've found this site accidentally, but its great! I study calligraphy in a country where there is no calligraphy school. I applied for Monbusho but I had not enough score to pass unfortunately. So right now I am in search for other possibilities for scholarship to learn japanese calligraphy. I have now 2 dan, learning since 8 years ago and very serious but bimbo:))) Do you think I could find another scholarship? You probably have a better insight how it goes in Japan than me.

It is great. I can't wait for the next one. You have a great sense of timing with your panels and postures - It'll be interesting to see how your painstakingly crafted calligraphy will flavour your painstakingly crafted comics. kore wa doko desu ka (thats all I know) I’ve just read Tonoharu. It is great. I can’t wait for the next one.

If they think you need it to do your research, you do it, if they don't think you need it, you don't. I don't know how they determine that; probably by looking at your test scores, and maybe through whatever interaction they've had with you. For me, Shikoku University decided I didn't need it, so I just came straight here and started my research right away. I was nervous about my language abilities at first, but so far I've been doing okay. Good luck on your bid for the Monbusho! Lars Hello Aspiring,

Thanks so much for all the essential info you've posted on your blog. This is such a great help for an aspiring Monbusho scholar like me. Anyhow, I'd like to know if you were still required to undergo a japanese language training prior to starting your stint as a research student. I'ver read on the guidlines from the embassy that they might be asking garntees to undergo a 6-month language training course first before proceeding to research. Thanks much fro all the info!
