It was never the same, and I could never repeat the same line or the same circle. I loved the smell of sumi (India ink) and enjoyed rubbing the sumi stick on an inkstone before my calligraphy class started.Īnother thing I liked was putting the brush into the ink and, just before I put it to the white rice paper, breathing in deeply and making the decision to write. I started traditional Japanese calligraphy ( shodo) when I was 5 years old and kept practicing till I was 16.
