This week's theme is "Japanese brush". Have you ever used Japanese brush or practiced Shodo ? Shodo is Japanese old culture  and good handwriter in shodo is respected very much in Japan . So , I want to teach you the way to use Japanese brush .

Posture

 

In shodo , both the right posture and the way of holding brush is very important . Please awake to right posture . The beautiful word can be formed in right posture .

First , sit down in front of the desk . At the point , you should keep the distance that your fist can enter between you and desk . Second , you relax and stretch your back and lean a few degree (about 15 degree) . Right posture makes your sight wider and you can look aroud the paper . So , you can wright eloquent free words by large stroke . Posture is your mind to Shodo and it is very important in aspect of sprit .The most important point is writing with your hole heart !!!

 

 

 

 

Stance of brash

In Japan , The improvement  is called "rasing arm (Ude wo ageru)"
In fact , the word is born from Shodo and points to improvement  of Shodo . Ude is  the part from wrist to elbow when you practice Shodo .
It is important that you relax and make natural posture .Hold the center of brash and confront Japanese paper .
