A “letter” is not just a sign or character. It is a tool that can describe feelings and scenery, and that represents culture in its own form. Japanese has a lot of beautiful words, and uses three separate alphabets: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji to express culture through letters – an art in themselves. Through calligraphy, let’s learn and feel Japanese letters, words, and culture!
