we happend to take part in a shodo lesson at our university (shodo means calligaphy) every student was equipped with fude - brush, ink - sumi and calligraphy paper - washi
the clip shows the shodo professor, while writing 4 kanji - japanese characters.
shodo is connected to zen buddhism and teached at every elementary schools, every move, the way to hold and use the brush, simply everything is important and performed in a very concentrated, controlled, and slowly way
works of shodo are considered first class pieces of art, and sometimes gain higher prices than contemporary art, e.g. oil paintings
Immer wieder schön einem Meister bei der Arbeit zuzusehen.
