Japanese calligraphy is meditation disguised as writing. The ink is ground slowly by hand, the first stroke cannot be corrected, and two hours disappear before you notice. This morning class is taught by a working shodo artist whose pieces hang in restaurants and homes across the city.日本书道是披着「写字」外衣的冥想。墨要用手慢慢磨,第一笔落下便无法修改,两小时不知不觉就过去了。这堂晨间课程由一位执业书法家执教——他的作品挂在这座城市的餐厅与住宅里。

You start with the basics — how to hold the brush, the eight strokes hiding inside every kanji — and practise on newsprint until the brush stops fighting you. Then the artist helps you choose a character that means something to you, and you write it properly, on fine washi, as many times as it takes. Your best sheet is stamped with a hand-carved seal and mounted to take home.从最基础开始——握笔的方法、藏在每个汉字里的八种基本笔画,在报纸上练到笔听话为止。然后书法家帮您选一个对您有意义的字,在上好的和纸上认真书写,直到满意。最好的一张会盖上手工篆刻的印章,装裱后带回家。
