How to Learn Shodo easily

Let's start Shodo!

You may think it's difficult to start Shodo, but there is a easy way to start for beginners.

What about the tools!?

There are a lot of things to prepare for Shodo.
We have to buy some specific tools to start traditional Shodo, such as brushes, sumi, paper and suzuri.
But you don't have to worry about it!

You can start with a brush pen!

You can practice shodo with a brush pen and regular paper.
Brush pens are obtainable on Amazon. If you practice Shodo with brush pens, it is okay to use regular paper, like copier paper. You don’t need to buy specific paper like Japanese Hanshi.
We have a free PDF file, on which there are some guides that you can easily practice our lessons.

Or, we also recommend a Magic Hanshi!

Magic Hanshi is a very convenient item that you can write on with water many times.
The letters disappear when the water dries. Since Sumi is not necessary for the Magic Hanshi, there is no need to worry about stainning your hands,table, room, etc.
Magic Hanshi is also obtainable on Amazon.

Of course, practicing with a regular Shodo set is also okay in our lessons.
