Japanese calligraphy or “shodō” in the Japanese language literary means a way of writing. Normally we use a brush with sumi or ink on washi for calligraphy. Japanese calligraphy came from China originally. A calligraphy class is one of the compulsory educational classes in Japanese schools. We start learning calligraphy in elementary school. To me calligraphy is also a type of meditation. It lets me focus but relax at the same time.
