Shoko Harada/Books/Enjoy Japanese: Your first introduction to modern Japanese calligraphy

"Modern calligraphy" has been attracting attention in recent years as a way to express characters more personally and with a high degree of freedom.

This book is a practical book that introduces how to write ``Japanese Modern Calligraphy,'' a new type of modern calligraphy that has been uniquely interpreted by the author using modern letter expressions, with the aim of ``enjoying the Japanese language.''

Mainly using the author's original typeface, "Harukaze," we will introduce how to draw hiragana and katakana, how to draw original typefaces, and how to enjoy DIY using modern Japanese calligraphy. It is also full of phrases that can be used in everyday life and events.
