Description
The word calligraphy literally means "beautiful writing." It is an art form that can be found in most civilizations with a written script. Originally developed to stress the importance of culture, religion and philosophy, over time calligraphy in most languages has developed into a purely artistic expression. In Japan, kanji characters from the Japanese writing system are used in calligraphy. Introduction to Kanji Calligraphy is an exploration of this Asian art form, and examines how calligraphic poetry developed in Japan. Beginning with an overview of the Japanese writing system, there is also a chapter on the structure of kanji, the tools needed to practice calligraphy and basic brush stroke techniques. The entire second half of the book is a kanji character library, providing detailed examples and brush stroke information for a wide variety of kanji. Written by a Japanese shodo master, Introduction to Kanji Calligraphy is a wonderful introduction to a beautiful art.
