ShyoHou (Calligraphy)
Calligraphy is an artform, it is how well one can write out Kanji with a brush and black ink. Calligraphy can be done anytime, however, on New Year's Day there is also a tradition to write calligraphy. Calligraphy written on that day is called Kakizome, or First Writing (of the year). Japanese Students are given a chance to write during class during January, and other members of the F&M Community during Ocha no Jikan.
