From brushes to pens

I would like to introduce ‘Japanese’ calligraphy with our written language and how I was trained as a Japanese calligrapher. What did I learn and how, then discovered the alphabet calligraphy later, how I learnt it. Also what sort of jobs I get in UK as a calligrapher, and a Japanese calligrapher.
