Clear instructions and 148 photos welcome you to the subtle,
fascinating world of Japanese calligraphy. Beginning with a summary
of the art's history, this guide then helps you understand the two
systems of script that Japanese uses together: kanji, the
ideogram-like characters borrowed from the Chinese language; and
kana, the purely phonetic characters. Next, you'll learn the
correct way to use the "four treasures of study" (brush, ink,
inkstone, and paper), as well as seals and other tools. Then begin
learning to calligraph characters, words, and even poems using
either a large brush or a small writing brush. Try your hand at
joined calligraphy, which is considered the soul of Japanese
calligraphy. Finally, a gallery of works of calligraphy art by
grand masters and other renowned experts offers even more
inspiration.
