Modern Calligraphy: Handwriting techniques to express your style

Release date: ‎ 2019/6/14
Language ‏ : ‎ Japanese
Book: ‎ 160 pages

Japan's first modern calligraphy guidebook by Maki Shimano, a calligrapher who boasts absolute skill and popularity. ``Modern calligraphy'' is a modern handwriting technique that is derived from ``calligraphy,'' a method for making letters look beautiful, and allows you to express your individuality in the letters.

This book includes a hands-on section that will help you write 8 typefaces by style and pen and example sentences using practical practice methods, an arrangement section that allows you to change the font to your own and think about layout and color scheme design, and a section that allows you to combine it with illustrations and use other than paper. It consists of 3 parts: a development version where you write on the material and style it by applying it to the item. We mainly explain point pens that can draw delicate hair lines, but we also introduce brush pen typefaces that you can easily get started with.

As a bible that covers everything from the basics of modern calligraphy to the beginning of its application, it is perfect for calligraphy beginners who want to write beautiful letters, for those who want to take their calligraphy to the next level and combine it with another hobby or job, and for those who want to take their calligraphy to the next level and combine it with another hobby or job. We respond to a wide range of requests, including those who want to create fonts and create an original worldview.

*A model and guide sheet that can be separated and used is included at the end of the book.
