Synopsis
This step-by-step Japanese calligraphy book explains the systems of Japanese language and delves into details of written Japanese characters and techniques of kanji calligraphy.
The word calligraphy literally means "beautiful writing." It is an art form that can be found in most civilizations with a written script.
