Calligraphy

for Teens

Scroll

Called “Shodo” in Japanese, which means “the way of writing,” traditional calligraphy teaches teens patience, focus and discipline and helps them develop a sensitive, yet discerning, view of the world.

Eloquent Communication

Shodo is a means of artistically communicating either in prose or verse with over 1.5 billion people throughout Asia.

Meaning and Depth

Through rote practice of writing kanji (Chinese characters), teens meditate on the meaning, depth, character; and can explore how the various concepts apply to their lives.

Artistic Horizons

By learning how to write kanji well – with balance and proportion – teens develop aesthetic sensitivity and explore new artistic horizons.

Cultural Diversity

Kanji constitute a writing system that is completely different from western languages. Thus, by studying the characters, teens develop a worldview that is both broad, tolerant, and rich in cultural diversity.

At Seichou Karate, Master Instructor Kazuko Kano teaches teens how to write kanji and two other Japanese alphabets correctly and beautifully.

Shodo takes concentration and focus, but it is fabulous challenge for young people who wish to boldly express themselves because the more teens practice, the more they enjoy working with the deep black ink to create beautiful works that stimulate the mind, please the eye, and nourish the soul.
