At Home With Calligrapher Kanazawa Shōko: Down Syndrome and Independence

On the way to Shōko’s apartment.

Buying beef at the butcher’s.

Her favorite café.

“Today’s dinner is beef stew.”

Studying four-character idioms.

Shōko’s three vows, taped to a wall, are to keep her apartment clean, not to stay up too late, and to lose weight.

Searching for videos on her iPad.

Practicing calligraphy with her mother.
