Experience Japanese Calligraphy

Starting to learn calligraphy at the age of 5, deciding to officially pursue calligraphy at the age of 19, up to now, Mr. Miyata Tempu has achieved many certificates and high awards in the field of calligraphy in Japan. In addition, with the desire to guide learners in a systematic and precise way from the beginning, Mr. Miyata Tempu and his colleagues have opened calligraphy classes for many subjects of different ages at Bokuan School (Mac Am), Osaka (Japan).

This is the first time coming to Hanoi, two Japanese artists have chosen the Japanese Studies department as the place to introduce Japanese calligraphy. During class, students majoring in Japanese Studies are not only guided by teachers on the introductory knowledge of calligraphy such as how to use inkstones, grind ink, hold a pen, write basic strokes..., but also explained about the core spiritual values ​​hidden in each movement of calligraphy.

After the class, artists Miyata Tempu and Miyata Youhu shared: The students were very enthusiastic and serious during the class. After only two hours, from knowing absolutely nothing about calligraphy, many students made rapid progress, using the correct techniques and completing their own works. "The class was very fun and interesting. I was just afraid of tearing my work," said a student majoring in Japanese studies.

After this event, representatives of the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the Department of Japanese Studies and the two artisans discussed and decided to carry out more cooperation and exchange activities on traditional Japanese culture in the near future.
