Summary

For many, a deep and lasting interest in Japanese culture, its people, and its language begins with a fascination for beautifully drawn characters produced by a master calligrapher. Compared with the squarish, regular representation of Chinese characters reproduced in books, newspapers, and magazines by modern printing techniques, the appealing brush strokes of a handwritten Japanese scroll, letter, or menu are often considered a work of art and associated with the aesthetic and mystical.
