Japanese Calligraphy
Japanese Shodo calligraphy is an ancient and artistic method of writing the Japanese language using a brush and ink. It is more than just a means of conveying words, but a form of expression that reflects the mind and spirit of the writer.
Shodo was influenced by Zen Buddhism and requires a state of concentration and harmony between the body and the brush. The beauty of Shodo lies in the balance and flow of the strokes, the contrast between black and white, and the elegance and simplicity of the characters.
​
Each character has its own meaning and corresponds to a word or an idea. It is a form of artistic expression that uses brush and ink to create beautiful objects in their own right. The beauty of Shodo lies in the balance and flow of the strokes, the contrast between black and white, and the elegance and simplicity of the brush work.
​
The calligrapher has only one chance to create with a singular, fluid stroke of the brush. Miho’s artworks will enhance any home or workplace.
