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
- 硯 / すずり (Suzuri) : Inkpot
- 下敷き / したじき (Shitajiki) : Blotter
- 文鎮 / ぶんちん(Bunchin) : Paperweight
