Calligraphers of Instagram Part 1 yogai888emi
Calligraphers of Instagram Part 1 yogai888emi
I absolutely love kanji - Chinese characters that are also used in Japanese writing.
But calligraphy is not my strong point. My writing is good, but not particularly beautiful.
I have, however, recently become slightly obsessed with instagrammers who post Japanese calligraphy photos.
So I thought it might be fun to share some with you!
I first discovered @yogai888emi via this adorable story about falling asleep on the train.
??Look at those lovely clean lines. I immediately had serious handwriting envy.

If kanjis not your thing, you can find beautiful hiragana and katakana on her page too.
??????(hanage) "nose hair"

There are videos, too, if you like watching calligraphy. I do - I find it strangely relaxing.
??????(nieru) to boil, to be cooked. This ones from the height of summer!

You can find heaps more of her work at @yogai888emis instagram page. I hope you enjoy exploring it as much as I do.
Just looking at calligraphy wont make your handwriting more beautiful though - unfortunately!
