Ukulele Choir Visits Japan: 2006 |
Shodo |
| These days, most Japanese use pencils, ballpoints, or felt-tip pens to write letters and other documents. But the art of Shodo (calligraphy), where an ink-dipped brush is used artistically to create Chinese kanji and Japanese kana characters, remains a traditional part of Japan's culture. The students were able to try their hand at Shodo and found that it was not as easy at it looked. |
