 Calligraphy
- The art of calligraphy, shodo, is widely practiced and
revered in the East Asian civilizations that use or used
Chinese characters. These include China, Japan, Korea, and
to a lesser extent, Vietnam. In addition to being an artform
in its own right, calligraphy has also influenced ink and
wash painting, which is accomplished using similar tools and
techniques. The East Asian tradition of calligraphy
originated and developed from China, specifically the ink
and brush writing of Chinese characters. There is a general
standardization of the various styles of calligraphy in the
East Asian tradition. Calligraphy has also led to the
development of many other forms of art in East Asia,
including seal carving, ornate paperweights, and inkstones.
