In Japan, ballpoint pens and pencils are commonly used as writing instruments for writing letters and documents, but calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that artistically expresses kanji and other characters using the ancient writing instruments brush and ink. It is one. In addition to the arrangement of letters, calligraphy is viewed from the viewpoint of how to carry the brush, the shade of ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement. Calligraphy was originally developed in China, but in Japan it began in earnest around the 6th and 7th centuries when it was introduced from China along with how to make brushes, ink, and paper. At that time, it was considered an indispensable culture for aristocrats and samurai who were Japanese leaders. In the calligraphy, kanji and kana are written accurately one by one, and the typeface "Kaisho" is written in a square shape. There are various writing styles such as "cursive script", which is the most flexible and fluid typeface, and by learning calligraphy, you can write one character carefully, and the writing order is meaningful for the brush. Can be understood.
You can experience Japanese traditional culture and calligraphy. You can decide the character you want to write after explaining the tools required for calligraphy, how to hold the brush, posture, and kanji. Practice that letter. Finish by writing on the Uchiwa, and you have your own original book! We have created an original program and take it home so that even beginners can do calligraphy even after returning home. A diploma made of Japanese paper is also included.
You can attach the work written on the calligraphy to the mount and take your own original Uchiwa with you.
A set of tools such as calligraphy, ink, brush, inkstone, shitajiki, paperweight, etc. Rental group fan, calligraphy, set of mount for taking your work home
