About the poster: Japanese calligraphy, known as shodō (書道), is a traditional art form that combines beauty, discipline, and expression through the brush and ink. Rooted in Chinese calligraphy, it was introduced to Japan around the 6th century and gradually developed its own unique styles and aesthetics. Practiced by both artists and monks, shodō is more than writing—it is a meditative process that reflects the writer's spirit and emotions. Each brushstroke is deliberate, aiming for harmony, balance, and flow. Today, Japanese calligraphy continues to be a respected art, blending classical tradition with contemporary expression.
