A glimpse of Japanese folk calligraphy (1)

In recent years, more and more Japanese calligraphy and paintings have flowed into China, and some people in China have begun to study, collect or trade them. Probably the reason of Japan's economic recession, most people are forced to make a living and look forward to it. In addition, in terms of inheritance, the state may not have policy support, and young people are under too much pressure to make a living, and their interest in painting and calligraphy is greatly reduced, or even there is a fault. Some old people don't have time to take care of it, so they throw out some calligraphy and painting they have hoarded.

Influenced by China's calligraphy, most Japanese calligraphy has the shadow of China Calligrapher School. However, China's calligraphy art has a long history, various schools and numerous calligraphers. Japanese calligraphy draws on and imitates China's calligraphy in a few minutes or only a few calligraphers, which may be limited by the environment and materials, but the kung fu learned is greatly reduced.

Although it has its own calligraphy, on the whole, there are still shortcomings in artistic expression. So reading Japanese calligraphy is a bit boring. Of course, we do not deny that there are master works and outstanding calligraphers, nor do we deny that there are places worth learning from.

On the other hand, Japanese painting and calligraphy mounting is worth learning because of its high quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship.

Anyway, over the years, China has made great efforts in inheriting and developing traditional culture. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has also led to the great development and prosperity of culture and art. We see that today's calligraphy art is not allowed by the ancients, and even comparable to the ancients, creating many masterpieces worthy of the times.
