i can tell, from 2:20, that the one-character pieces you were using in the lessons are based on "high grade".

上彫

[HIDETCHI]

No, I think it's 特上. 上彫 uses perfect kanji but no unique writing style.

[Hong Zhu]

You mean 極上？

[HIDETCHI]

Yes!

[Edward Knave]

I have a question: Can we erase the words from "Written Pieces" by sand paper, and then inscribe it again to have our own inscribed pieces?

[HIDETCHI]

Yes, I think it's possible. You want to inscribe them on your own?

[Hong Zhu]

りょうこ

ｒｙｏｕｋｏ

[FlareBattle]

The style I liked the most was on the left at 4:35, But I don't think you mentioned it's name, What's it's name, and do you know if it's possible to get that certain style inscribed (2)?

[Xinming Simon Guo]

I really like your introduction. Thanks a lot.
