Ancient Japanese calligraphy, known as Shodo, is more than just a decorative art; it is a revolutionary approach to mindfulness. This introduction to Shodo shows how the movement of a brush channels energy through the body and mind, uniting both in harmony. In this book, Rie Takeda, world-renowned Shodo artist and expert shares: the history, philosophy and spirituality of Shodo; the craft of calligraphy from the basic brushstrokes up to complete kanji; practical guidance on which inks, pens and brushes to use, how to prepare your space, how to sit and breathe; spiritual insight into Shodo, including the concept of Mushin (an undisturbed mind), Qi energy, and how to discover and channel your unique inner quality.
