Calligraphy Experience
A smooth & delicate way
to experience the Japanese writing style
I consider that calligraphy is not about writing with the complex Japanese "kanji" alphabet. Instead, calligraphy is a kind of art that lets you express your thoughts and relax your mood through your brush & writing style.
The art of Calligraphy has gained worldwide attention due to the popularity of Zen Buddhism and its famous quotes written on hanging scrolls.
With me, you can experience a meditative way of creating beautiful strokes with your brush. The sound of the brush and the smell of the ink will aid in relaxing your body and mind.
