Description
This is a special course of Shodo, the Japanese calligraphy.
The reason why I made this Udemy course of Shodo is because I wanted many people in the world familiarize and challenge the art of Shodo and feel one of the hearts of beautiful Japanese culture.
In this course, I will coach you what to prepare, how to hold a Fude, how to do your posture when you do Shodo, how to write beautiful letters etc. in this video course. You will learn the composition of Kanji, the trick to keep beautiful balance of letters, tips to become an excellent Shodo artist etc. I will also talk about the depth of meaning of Japanese Hiragana and Kanji and those beauties.
Let’s get started to learn about the basics of Shodo.
As the first step, I will teach how to write “永” which is a single Kanji that contains many basic writing factors. If you master this single Kanji, you can expand those techniques to other Shodo writings easily.
I must remind you that each Kanji has a very deep meaning in it and although you write a letter by your hand, you also write a letter by your soul. The letter you wrote reflects the condition of your heart.
But the most important thing is to enjoy yourself and feel delight in your heart.
Who this course is for:
- A person who wants to try shodo( calligraphy)
Instructor
I have been teaching Shodo in Kumano town for the past 33 years.
I teach Shodo at many kindergartens, elementary schools and junior high schools. And I also teach many temple monks and adult people.
I do intend to introduce this splendid world of Shodo to many people in the world. In English, Shodo can be translated to “Calligraphy” and Fude to “Writing Brush”.
But I want to insist that we should use “Shodo” and “Fude” in the world instead of English vocabularies of calligraphy and brush as they call sushi as “Sushi” also in English.
The reason of this is that Shodo is not a simple calligraphy. Shodo is a practice to write letters by using a writing brush. But it is a practice also to train yourself. In Shodo, we write letters but I must say that those letters always reflect yourself and your personality.
