Style of Japanese Calligraphy

• Kaisho

  Kaisho literally means “correct writing”. In other words, this is the style in which each of the strokes is made in a deliberate and clear way, creating a form that is very similar to the printed version of the character that one might see in a newspaper.
  This is the form that students of calligraphy study first, since it is close to the everyday written characters they are already familiar with, but at the same time it gives them the opportunity to get used to using the brush (fude) correctly.

  Below you can see the character for “dream” written in kaisho style on the left, and on the right as written using a word processor. Notice how similar they are in form.

  
• Gyousho

  Gyousho literally means “traveling writing” and refers to the semi-cursive style of Japanese calligraphy. Like cursive handwriting in English, this is the style that most people will usually use to write with when taking notes. Furthermore, as with English cursive style, what are written as separate strokes in kaisho style flow together to form a more rounded whole in gyousho. Text written in this style is can usually be read by the majority of educated Japanese.

  The same character is written in gyousho below with the printed version for comparison once more. Notice how it is more flowing and artistic.

  
• Sousho

  Sousho means “grass writing” and refers to the flowing cursive style of calligraphy. Here, form supersedes readability as the calligraphy artist rarely allows her brush to leave the paper, resulting in a graceful, swooping shapes. Only those trained in shodou are usually able to read this type of script.

  Notice how the shape of the character is now almost completely unrecognizable as the same kanji in print on the right. It is now more a stylized work of art than a vehicle for conveying information.

Allah says, "He had taught Adam all the names" (Al-Baqarah [2]: 31) and "Whose God's name - a beautiful name, and ask Him by the name - the name" (Al - A `heights [ 7]: 180)

Messenger of Allah said, "God has 99 names, a hundred less one; understand whoever will enter Paradise." (Shahiih Bukhaari, Muslim Shahiih). Of course, in understanding not only with words but also with our deeds and behavior.

The virtues and benefits of the Name - Name of God (Asmaul Husna) has been widely felt by many people. Therefore I tried to compile from a few books that discuss the virtues and benefits of the Asmaul Husna. Easy - hopefully benefit us all. Amiin ....

Calligraphy, from the Greek; καλλι "beauty" + γραφος "write") 日本语 Nihongo Japanese Language) is the art of beautiful writing with a pen as a garnish. Posts in the form of calligraphy are usually not to be read with a high concentration for a prolonged period, because of its rapid make eyes tired. Because that's very difficult to find examples of calligraphy as a typographic books today.

Although Arabic calligraphy in the better known writings, but also the implementation of many applications to the Latin text.

Islam in art, writing Arabic calligraphy often made. Usually the content excerpted verses of the Qur'an. A variety of forms, not always a pen on paper, but often also ditatahkan above metal or leather.

One form of implementation of Islamic calligraphy as a decorative art is in the Al Hamra Palace in Spain.

Calligraphy sculpture is a combination of two kinds of art works that shaped ornament. Ornamentation here is a form of beauty meant to fill a particular field, whether in the form of two dimensional or three dimensional. Combination of two types of works of art is a combination of sculpture with the art of calligraphy. Sculpture better known by the stylized form of visualization. Stylized is a way to change and simplify the original form into another form that you want to achieve a certain level of beauty. This beauty can be poured on media.kayu, metal, clay or stone. The technique used is usually in the form of carving techniques, if in the process of manufacture in tatahkan directly on the media. There is also a printing technique that uses a technique to multiply the number of works of art with the media molds (tools / facilities to produce more work than one with similar results). Sculpture beauty of calligraphy is a form of letters which poured / visualized on a particular place (can be from wood, metal or rocks) using techniques commonly used for carving, such as carving techniques. Steps to be taken is to design a form of calligraphy first instance on a timber. Design is the design drawings which will form the basis to follow the contour plot in the carving. After the design drawings can be completed, begin the process of making the carved shapes. The process of engraving on wood media, start using tatah with the use of proper technique. Penatahan on this carving the shape of the initial design, so the end result did not go too far with the themes that have been planned.Blend of calligraphy with this sculpture has a sense that the beauty of the art of writing can be poured on the field which is used for carving. Not just their fields, but the shape and the results of his work can also be categorized into sculpture. Implementation of the carving must be comprehensive, all forms of calligraphy that was created should be included in the criteria for carving. So that people can distinguish awampun calligraphy carved with the picture / painting calligraphy.
