SORA’s Shodo Class

Shodo (calligraphy) is a form of Japanese artistic writing that requires a focused mind to unite body and heart and thereby express one’s true character through brush and ink.

In Japan, Shodo practice focuses on copying old masters and often lacks true creativity or expression. In the U.S., artistic pursuits often lack the depth of study, meditative aspects, and polish of traditional Japanese arts. It was only through the connection of both cultures that SORA art and teaching became possible. Her philosophy is a fusion of two cultures.

This class also examines the aesthetic values, historic development, and intellectual metaphors that Shodo embodies to further students’ understanding of art, people, and worldview. This course is designed for students who are interested in Shodo and personal growth through Shodo practice. Both Adult and Children’s classes are available. Classes will be taught in Japanese and English.
