Japanese Calligraphy: A Guide to the Art and Its Techniques Discover the spiritual and artistic basics of Japanese calligraphy with this comprehensive guide. Over 140 photos illustrate clear instructions that welcome you to the fascinating world of Japanese calligraphy. You'll learn about the art's history, including the two systems of script used in Japan: kanji and kana. The book then guides you through the use of traditional tools, such as the "four treasures of study" (brush, ink, inkstone, and paper), seals, and other essential instruments. With step-by-step instructions, you'll begin to create beautiful characters, words, and poems using either a large brush or a small writing brush. As you progress, try your hand at joined calligraphy, considered the soul of Japanese calligraphy. The book concludes with a gallery of works by renowned experts, offering inspiration for your own artistic journey.
