Julita Bryant, a Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni resident, poses for a photo with calligraphy she painted at the Kumano Brush Festival in Kumano, Japan, Sept. 22, 2016. Air station residents traveled to Kumano with the Cultural Adaptation Program and were able to participate in a calligraphy competition with the Japanese locals. After attending the festival the residents visited the Fudenosato Kobo Museum where they learned how calligraphy equipment is made. ( Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Joseph Abrego)
