Kanji calligraphy is a Japanese art form that uses Han letterforms from Chinese script to create works that evoke harmony and wisdom.
This system of writing has been used in China, Korea, Japan, and in parts of Southeast Asia without historically substantial Chinese influence.
The writing of Kanji is said to communicate one's inner thoughts, personality, and state of being at the time the piece is executed.
