Let’s study Shodo, the traditional Japanese and Chinese Calligraphy at NISHIGUCHI Kisui Shodo School at Mita, Kagurazaka, Takanawa and Nihonbashi in Tokyo. Join us and study Shodo with us!
Greeting
In the olden days, Japanese people used only "Kanji" Chinese character, which is handed down from China, as the notation character, but our ancestors cannot express their thoughts and hearts with Kanji alone, and produce "Kana" Japanese character. "Shodo Calligraphy" is a traditional Japanese cultural art that expresses the beautiful spirit of the Japanese people, such as rich emotions, humility, respect for politeness, and respect for harmony with others. And for Japanese whenever you start learning, you will be able to get close to it from the bottom of your heart. And now Shodo Calligraphy is loved and learned not only by Japanese but also by foreigners. For me, "World peace" is the principle of my Shodo activity, and I am also engaged in overseas activities and international exchanges in order to strive for mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence with other peoples through Shodo Calligraphy which is an expression of one's heart and a part of oneself. Why don't you choose calligraphy for lifelong learning? By studying Shodo calligraphy, let's build "your own Shodo" that can express yourself richly.
