A word on the art of calligraphy
Calligraphy appeared in Japan more than 1200 years ago. This art consists in expressing letters estheticism as well as the meaning of words with a paintbrush and India ink. Calligraphers traditionally paint on washi, which is a type of hand-crafted paper that has been produced in Japan since the 7th century. However, we can now encounter a wide range of calligraphic expressions: some artists mix this art with digital technology, use paint instead of ink, or draw on various materials such as fabrics, wood, leather or glass.
