Japanese Calligraphy
Discover the healing and relaxing power inherent in calligraphic handwriting. Handwriting is still highly valued in modern day Japan. Calligraphy is deeply rooted in its society and in the people’s daily lives. Why do the Japanese value brush-writing so much?
The Japanese people recognize that handwritings can convey the writer’s emotions, feelings, and the characters more than printed letters.
