Journey

My very young friend Leon is a staunch practitioner of Taekwondo, a highly principled martial art that is instrumental in building character in those who pursue its many disciplines.  I bought a great Taekwondo die last year in anticipation of Leon’s Spring birthday this year and cannot find it for the life of me.  So I went with an Asian theme instead . . .

There are both Chinese and Japanese elements on this card and I thought these choices covered the martial art bases rather well.  Having just ordered a large collection of Taekwondo dies that I have no intention of misplacing, I will soon be well equipped to return to Taekwondo illustrations in future.
