TOKYO — U.S. first lady Melania Trump tried her hand Monday at Japanese calligraphy at a Tokyo elementary school. She visited the Kyobashi Tsukiji school with her Japanese counterpart, Akie Abe. Trump wrote the first character of the Japanese word for “peace,” as Abe wrote the second. The two first ladies, both wearing navy blue dresses, posed for photos, shook hands and exchanged high fives with the school children. School principal Takefumi Ukitsu said the school was chosen for the visit because it picked America as part of a study project for Tokyo’s 2020 Olympics.
