Calligraphy

Education

The Japan Calligraphy Education Foundation, (formerly Educational Federation), was founded in 1953 (Showa 28) by Harada Kampo. It was started with the purpose of spreading the spirit embodied in the phrase, "Correct and beautiful calligraphy based on a spirit of love." Today it is Japan's largest calligraphy association, with more than 800,000 members.
