Japanese calligraphy is an ancestral art.
It is considered as a way to reach the Buddha, because it requires a lot of calm and concentration.
The original name is 書道 / しょどう (shodou).
To make calligraphy you need the following tools:
| 筆 / ふで(Fude) | Pencil |
| 筆沖 / ふでおき(Fudeoki) | Pencil support |
| 墨 / すみ (Sumi) | Ink |
| 紙 / かみ (Kami) | Paper |
