Unique approach! Beyond Shodo!

Shodo 書道 is Art!

 I add some Sumi-e techniques into Shodo pieces.  Students create their own designs!

 Teaching Method 

What is the difference between Shuji and Shodo?  Shuji-習字 is learning calligraphy and drawing precisely based on Otehon. Shodo-書道 is drawing calligraphy artistically with your own style.

My teaching method is a mix of Shuji and Shodo.  I would like you to learn Shuji first beause Shuji is basic to understanding the structure of letters which is very important for moving up to Shodo as the next step!
