About calligraphy boom 201210912 shungo sato

Last time, I wrote that popularity of calligraphy decline. Recently, various motions for not forgetting the calligraphy, one of the Japanese traditional culture, have come out. Moreover the drama and comics describing the fun of the calligraphy have also appeared. This time, I would like to introduce some in it.

Now, the vocational school which studies calligraphy specially, and the motion which also prepares a general university a calligraphy course have come out. “calligraphy course” exists in the department of art on university of tsukuba. “calligraphy course” aims at cultivation of the talented people who can become independent as calligrapher or a researcher of calligraphy in the future. In graduation research, the both sides of work and dissertation are made into requirements uniquely as fine-arts speciality.

Recently, opportunity taken up about calligraphy by media increased. For example, a movie “calligraphy girls”. This is admiration operation which draw the high school girls of a small town which began “calligraphy performance Kosien” for town revitalization. It is true story. I also took up calligraphy performance the blog before. It is the competition rush a big brush on the big paper with music, and compete ability of calligraphy and performance. The calligraphy boom happened with the work which shakes off the simple image of calligraphy. “tome, hane, suzuri calligraphy club of suzuri high school” is Japanese comics work dealing with the calligraphy by katsutoshi kawai. The heroes became a member of calligraphy club the course are gradually touched and devoted to the deepness of calligraphy. the calligraphy part which was backed up for their zeal and suited the crisis of the waste part is a tale in which it is purified aming at the whole country. The opportunity for the performance of a popular calligrapher or them to be taken up by media besides before furthermore.

By the appearance of such a work, the secret calligraphy is arisen in the young generation centering on a high school student. Seemingly, the calligraphy population which is continuing decreasing for 20 years actually started to increase in 2009. It seems that the young people who feel the charm by handwriting just because it is the present when it has digitized are increasing in number.
