Today we will• Learn about a traditional Japanese art
form called しょどう (Shodo)• Find out why the Japanese started
doing Shodo• Create original Shodo works of art
based on tradition and also expressing your artisistic ideas
Objectives
The art of shodo began in China and came to Japan in the sixth or seventh century. The methods for making brushes, ink, and paper also came from China. In those ancient days, calligraphy was practiced by the Japanese ruling noble families. Eventually, the art spread among the common people, too.
Today calligraphy is an art form to be admired as well as practiced. Shodo is used to create New Year's wishes (kakizome) and is also used in other daily life situations.

The precise number of characters in existence is disputed. Estimates range from 40,000 to 80,000.
Fluency in Chinese requires knowledge of approximately 3000 to 5000 characters, while fluency in Japanese requires knowledge of approximately 2000 to 3000 characters.
Junior high students in Japan
Both of these characters mean うま‘ horse’.
The lower one is approximately 3000 years old and the upper one is about 1000 years old.
Can you see how the older one at the bottom looks like a horse with its mane blowing in the wind? Do you see the four legs and a tail? Of course you can see its eye!
How is the more recent one at the top different?
These two characters also have the same meaning. The top one is once again a newer, more abstract version and the lower one is a more ancient version.
Can you guess the meaning?
That’s right! It means “child”.
Does anyone know what this kanji means?
やま
Each character is made up of a number of strokes which must be written in a prescribed order.
These kanji meaning “mountain” on the bottom and “fire” on the top combine to mean
“volcano”. They were created by fourth graders in Japan.
Compare these three styles
Kaisho style Gyosho style Sosho style
Sumi-e paintings often combine calligraphy with art

Works of calligraphy are admired for the accurate composition of their characters, of course, but also for the way the brush is handled in their creation, the shading of the ink, and the balanced placement of the characters on the paper.
Let’s see what you can do!
Now let’s practice!
Please ask for a ふで (brush) from your table organizer.
ふでを ください。
The brush should be held midway between the two ends. Basically use three fingers (your thumb, index finger, and middle finger) to hold it. Rest your ring finger for support, allowing your pinkie to lay naturally. The brush is held upright, with the hand not touching the paper.
Holding the Brush
Writing in temple book in Asakusa
Posture
Sit up straight without leaning on the back of your seat. Don't sit up too close to the desk.
Ask for paper from your table organizer.
Hold the paper still with the hand you're not using to write with.

Elementary
かみを ください。
Ask for ink from your table organizer. Ink is “sumi.”
Let’s practice by making “yokoga”, horizontal lines on scratch paper.
すみを ください。
三Now let’s do the number “three”
on scratch paper…
Now let’s try something a little harder, like the “yama” character which means “mountain”.
Students at Columbus Japanese Language School in Worthington
At the left side of the final product the student usually writes his/her grade and name from top to bottom.
Now write your name in hiragana (or katakana if you can)
Remember to write your last name first!
e.g. Michael Jackson =
じゃくそん・まいける
