Hello! We'll be focussing on traditional Japanese hobbies for the next three days. So slip into leisure mode because this is downtime, off-time, your own time, playtime - the old-fashioned way!
CALLIGRAPHY 美しい手書き文字、カリグラフィー・書道
- Calligraphy is beautiful handwriting, usually done with a special pen or brush.
Calligraphy is also the art of producing such handwriting.
Be careful[1]:
We can call 書道 "Japanese calligraphy". Be careful[2]:
When used to mean actual handwriting, calligraphy is countable, but the art of calligraphy is uncountable. - calligraphy は、美しい手書き文字で、普通、特殊なペンや筆を使って書かれます。
calligraphy は、美しい手書き文字を書く芸術、という意味もあります。
注意[1]:日本の「書道」は、Japanese calligraphy と言うことができます。 注意[2]:「美しい手書き文字」という意味のときは数えられる名詞、そのような文字を書く「芸術」という意味のときは、数えられない名詞として扱われます
- My daughter made her wedding invitations herself. Isn't the calligraphy beautiful!
- Children spend a lot of time practicing writing Kanji characters, and everyone learns Japanese calligraphy in school. So people's handwriting is generally very neat.
- My grandmother is learning Japanese calligraphy. Her class is going to have an exhibit of their work next Saturday.
We've enjoyed seeing you again!
