Summary:

The book is an academic work addressed to beginners in the study of the Japanese language, literature and art, as well as to those fascinated by Japanese culture or by the secrets of Japanese calligraphy in particular. The book combines, in an exciting and unique way, a theoretical analysis with the practice of calligraphy. In short, the book highlights the 'process of becoming' on the path of Japanese calligraphy, harmoniously reuniting the perspective of an external, distant, abstract view, with a subjective, practical, internal one. Because the author studied this art under the guidance of Japanese masters, the book also contains the author's Japanese calligraphy works. Today, in the digital age, this book on Japanese calligraphy emphasizes the creative synergy of handwriting, through which the calm swiftness of the brush movement in a moment of concentration, attention and freedom, reveals a contemplative mental act. The book is, eventually, an inner journey on the path of Japanese calligraphy, as it combines the practice and theory of calligraphic art, rediscovering handwriting through the reveries of the calligraphy brush in the contemporary digital age: writing by painting and painting by writing.
