The
art of drawing characters with a brush and Indian
ink, calligraphy expresses spiritual depth and beauty.
Thought to have originated in China, the refined
art has given a new dimension in Japan; Chinese
characters were combined with the Japanese kana
syllabary, devised in Japan. |

With
a brush soaked in Indian ink, you can freely control
the thickness and shading of the characters, which
enables calligraphers to express their spirits and
ideas. Your lesson begins by grinding the ink stick
on the ink stone, regarded as a kind of meditation
practice that prepares the mind for writing. Then
you hold the brush vertically and write a character
beautifully and elegantly as you wish. |
