About Shodo

　Calligraphy is a well-known traditional Japanese art form. This delicate and powerful form of expression symbolizes beauty and spiritual harmony. Calligraphy is more than just writing; it is a philosophy, a discipline that fosters inner peace and concentration. The tools used are also special, the brush, ink, inkstone, and washi being the main ones. Using these tools, the calligrapher brings the written word to life. For those seeking a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, calligraphy offers the perfect opportunity to experience both its beauty and history.

　This site also offers original works of art by professional calligraphers, each of which is imbued with its own background and meaning. Through these products, we hope to spread the appeal and understanding of Japanese tradition and art to people around the world.
