Our teacher, Shioda-sensei (who is also full of surprises) gave us nice kanji to assign to our names. Honestly I was kind of pessimistic – last time I was supposed to get a name consisting of Chinese characters I ended up with one including signs for a “woman” and “mother” which is not ideal when you are trans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But! My name from Shioda-sensei was actually quite cool – 恵夢, translating into ‘grace’ and ‘dream’ – so I guess graceful dream?
We practiced a bit and the whole experience was really fun overall.
