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!
