Learn Japanese Calligraphy Lessons 1 - 6

Japanese Calligraphy is a lovely art and requires years of practice and dedication to master. English texts on the subject attempt to teach the basics, but they lack the movement required to teach proper technique and proper form. This is why we have selected to use multimedia lessons on CD-ROM which contains not only detailed explanations, samples, and frame by frame analysis, but also videos showing correct technique and audio giving proper pronunciation.

Takase Shodokai Learn Japanese Calligraphy Lessons 1 6 provides detailed instruction on the tools of Japanese Calligraphy and on the basic strokes and lines of the Kaisho (Block) script.

Kaisho is the most commonly seen script today and is characterized as being bold and powerful with precise and crisp lines. There are eight fundamental strokes and nine fundamental lines used in the Kaisho script and each are covered in detail in these first six lessons.

Knowledge of Japanese is not required.
