Kanji characters were introduced to Japan from China. There are three styles of writing : Kaisho (regular script), Gyousho(semi-cursive script) and Sosho(cursive script). Kana characters originated in Japan from the Sosho style. Discover the beauty of Japanese calligraphy, where the distinctive and aesthetic writing of kanji and kana has evolved into a celebrated art form.
