Kanji are Japanese characters, & one of three writing systems in Japanese. Kanji are Japanese symbols that represent whole words. Kanji symbols can stand alone, or combine with other kanji to create more words, ideas, or turn a kanji into a verb. Their pronunciation & readings vary based on what other kanji or kana they're connected with. What is Shod? Japanese calligraphy (, shod) also called shji () is a form of calligraphy, or artistic writing, of the Japanese language. in shodo, the emphasis is on the beauty & balance of the writing. Flowing brush strokes are important, just as they are in painting. True Japanese calligraphy is done with a bamboo brush & sumi ink. Sumi ink is made from the soot of pine trees or other vegetable sources. Love Japanese Calligraphy Art Print Shodo Zen Wall Decor
