The World of Japanese Calligraphy

You may have seen written Kanji (Chinese characters) before but have you ever tried to write them yourself? A single kanji embodies both sound and meaning. These characters give us a glimpse of how people in ancient times felt and viewed things.

After you learn about the background of calligraphy, about specific calligraphy techniques (for example, ink grinding) and about the correct method to draw strokes, you'll be ready to express your emotions as you draw your own kanji on a paper fan with traditional Japanese brushes and ink.

Come and discover the deep world of kanji through this calligraphy program.
