Shodo
for beginners and advanced levels
Shodo (Japanese calligraphy)
Next course: Sunday October 14th 14:00-16:00
Ethan Weisgard and his Japanese co-instructor
teach courses in Japanese calligraphy starting
from beginners through to advanced levels. The
basic course begins with the rudimental brush
strokes and techniques, and the course finishes
with the participants writing their own name in
“katakana” (phonetic Japanese), as well as
simple “kanji” (combined Japanese characters).
We use “fudepen” (Japanese brush-pen) for
writing.
A step-by-step course series is also an option,
where the participants start with the beginner’s
course, and move through a series of additional
courses of progressively more advanced nature.
In the more advanced courses the participants
write using fude (Japanese calligraphy brushes)
and ink – a much more demanding process. The
advanced levels work on more complex kanji, and
different styles of writing – block form and
flowing.
Shodo is much more than learning to write – it
is a discipline that centers your spirit and
enhances your motor skills, esthetic sense and
visual perception.
Shodo courses can be tailored to suit the
individual client regarding the duration of the
course or course series, as well as the content.
Knowledge of the Japanese language is not
necessary to take the Shodo courses.
Participants will find that they will gain an
understanding of the language – and the
esthetics of Japanese culture - as they
progress.
Martial arts clubs, schools, institutions and
companies and private individuals with an
interest in Japanese culture can all enjoy the
challenges of this fascinating art.
Courses can be arranged in-house at Seidokan
Japan Center (see Contact for address) or on
location at the individual company or other
place of choice.
