SAMURAI HONOR

Calligraphy is deeply imbued with the aesthetic sensibilities of Japanese culture. Before picking up a brush, you will change into traditional Japanese clothing such as a kimono.

You will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between calligraphy as a form of decorative writing that exists overseas and Japanese Shodo.
Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese art form that uses brushes and ink to artistically express characters. The neatness of the characters, the movement of the brush, the shades of ink, and the overall beauty of the composition are all appreciated. In addition, Japanese aesthetics include the concept of "the beauty of white space," which means that by being conscious of white space, not only the characters but also the space itself can be made beautiful.
