SAMURAIHONOR
Mar. 11, 2025
The only souvenir that can make you feel "Japanese". Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots and shading enhance its beauty. There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep the mind quiet and focused when writing. It is also essentially about basic manners, such as sitting upright, keeping a straight back and holding the brush upright. The fan, which is still familiar to Japanese people as a tool that appears at milestones in life, and calligraphy on hanging scrolls, which are traditional Japanese works of art, are very popular among foreigners, as they are decorated in an appropriate manner and can be displayed in tokonoma (alcove) and other places. #kakejiku #kanji #wabisabi #snuvenir

Samurai Calligraphy Resignation is the last character to be written in this world in preparation for death. Calligraphy is a beautiful part of Japanese culture, but before you experience it, imagine it. Before you experience it, imagine that you are about to say goodbye to this world. You will be dressed in kimono or hakama like a samurai. #kanji #Calligraphy#performance
