Handwritings have been usually treated as historical materials so far.However, if we appreciate them as the handwriting works, we will find that they take on a new interesting aspect.
Calligraphy is one of the unique arts of drawing characters using a brush which is made of wool or badger hair and bamboo.It is said that a master calligrapher can easily know various things about the writer’s personality and mind by seeing his or her works.

1Writing of a poetic legend written by Shoin Yoshida

The writing is written in a really sincere and earnest form.It is also written in a way that the right side of each character is slightly high, with thin and strong lines and the characters are written in a row.The lateral lines are pushed up high on the right side.They started to be written with the rhythm “a tong” and ended with the rhythm “a tong.”So they were written, so to speak, in a writing form with the rhythm “a tong-soo-tong.”Judging from the written characters, the writer must have studied the fundamentals of the art of handwriting.The ingenuity and diversification to make it into artistic works can’t be seen.Generally speaking, the lines of each character are under tension, full of drive from the beginning to the end.The characters are all uniform in size.

Noteworthy points!

@The lateral lines of the character are written powerfully in the form that the right side is slightly high.

AAn acute brushing is given to left andright parts of the character.

BThe character is written in a way that the straight lines of the character facing each other are curved inward about their central parts.

CThe character which came in the center of the sheet is written in a very clean form.
