Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Join us at The Jackson County Public Library for a Japanese Calligraphy Workshop on Thursday, December 5th at 6 p.m. Ted Ohtani Sensei first will go over the differences between the written Chinese and Japanese languages and how  the Chinese characters were transformed into new Japanese letters: Katakana and Hiragana. He will also discuss the structures of Kanji to help with the calligraphy writing process. 
Next, folks will practice writing with authentic calligraphic tools. Three traditional styles of Kanji (Kaisho, Gyõsho, and Sõsho) will be explained with practice writing some Katakana strokes and then applying them to write Kanji. 
Registration is required to attend this program and is limited to 10 people. Please register by calling The Jackson County Public Library at 828-586-2016 or by emailing JCPL-Adults@fontanalib.org. 
The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library.
