Art Of Japanese Writing & Calligraphy: Kanji. Hiragana.Katakana Paperback – August 17, 2000

Dipping far more lightly than the author might ever advocate his students of the brush, we are presented with the barest glimpse of the rich history and variety of this art form. Appropriate to perhaps to the naive novice, anyone with a serious interest in Asian calligraphy will be left wanting. There are better options out there: I exhort buyers to explore other options before making this purchase.

Gift for my teenage daughter working on artistic skills!

@Brian this textbook was meant for class purposes. Of course there are other books that go far in dept. I'm taking Muranaka Sensei's class. He is the chillest professor I know and very knowledgeable at what he is teaching.
