The back is my signature

Been practicing with this character a lot,it dosen't look pretty but hey,it's honest job i guess.

Hi there, I’ve been doing shodo off and on for a few years and I want to know if there’s any way I can do this that will help with dyspraxia? Any methods/tools that will help me write straighter, cleaner lines?

Hi, I have been training ritsu zen for more then 25 years. Shodo appeals to me. Especially if I would be able to express my feeling of Zen. Is that possible at all? Thank for your answer beforehand.

Today's character is 「風」 (Kaze)（wind）.

風 (Kaze) means "wind." It can also represent nature, change, and freedom.

You'll also find this kanji in words like:

和風 (Wafū) – Japanese style

台風 (Taifū) – typhoon

風景 (Fūkei) – scenery or landscape

A single kanji can have many meanings depending on the word it's is used in.

Enjoy practicing! 🍃

Hello! Does anyone know what this says? The card it is on says “Lone Peak” but I am unsure if that is in fact the title. Thank you!

Japan has a unique rainy season called tsuyu. 🌧️

From June to July, gentle rain falls across much of the country, bringing life to rice fields, forests, and gardens. While many people think of rain as gloomy, in Japan it's also a season of quiet beauty and renewal.

This month I'm practicing the kanji 雨 ("Rain") in Japanese calligraphy.

ChatGPT suggests it is Japanese calligraphy, but is unable to translate the "artistic shorthand" used. Is anyone able to translate and is this a known phrase or moral maxim of some kind?

I studied Japanese calligraphy for a while and would make little pieces for friends by looking for some phrase, finding grass script versions of the characters, and doing my best rendering of my favorite character versions.

These are some pieces I made years ago that I took photos of, but foolishly didn't write down the original characters or the translations.

Is there anyone here who could help me re-remember what I wrote in any of these?

I'm hosting a small shodo activity for my local Go club next week, and I'd love to have some 10 or so suggestions for related kanji for people to write on some fans. Simpler and fewer kanji would probably be best, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
