The art of calligraphy

Hello again one and all. I've got something new for everyone. I know most of
us would like to learn the Japanese language given the chance and while I can't
really do that I thought some of you might be interested in a bit of calligraphy.
Basically the art of beautiful writing. As artists and Japanese enthusiasts it can be a
particularly interesting avenue to look at. If you're interested here are two links
to articles I found on the subject.


This first one gives a broad overview and also gives some basics of calligraphy and
 what separates good calligraphy from bad.

This one gives a broader overview of the history of the art itself.

Discussion is wanted and encouraged :)
