Japanese Report
Students last week learnt about and practiced their Shodou skills. Shodou, or the Japanese artform of calligraphy dating back to the 8th Century with this particular writing script first being introduced from China around the 3rd Century BCE. Of course, as an artform, Shodou is not just simply about practicing handwriting but can be a very cathartic and creative activity. The character here is ki, which means tree – this character is also used in the word for Thursday and Jupiter.
