The art of calligraphy is widely practiced and revered in Asian civilizations. In addition to being an artform in its own right, calligraphy has also influenced ink and wash painting, which is accomplished using similar tools and techniques. The tradition of calligraphy originated in China, specifically the ink and brush writing of Chinese characters. Calligraphy has also led to the development of many other forms of art in Asia, including seal carving, ornate paperweights, and inkstones. This finely crafted calligraphy set comes complete with five brushes, brush rest, sumi ink stick and stone, soapstone seal, and red sealing ink. The case is fan shaped and measures 7" wide and is covered in a sage green brocade fabric. These make great gifts!
