“Shodo” is a traditional Japanese culture that has evolved beyond the mere art of calligraphy as a way to refine the mind and spirit. The essence of shodo lies in the “heart” that is put into each stroke, and through writing, we face our inner self and express our emotions and state of mind at that very moment in writing. This art form seeks a momentary focus that cannot be repeated and is connected to the aesthetic senses of “wabi sabi” and “ippiki ichinichiai”. The use of line and space through the brush is imbued with deep meaning, and calligraphy is an art form that expresses a philosophy and beauty that transcends the written word.
What is the difference between graphology and graphotherapy?
There is a clear distinction between graphology and graphotherapy.
Graphology is the study of analyzing the shape, size, slope, and pressure of letters to read the writer’s personality, psychological state, and behavioral tendencies. For example, a person with strong handwriting pressure is likely to be strong-willed and energetic.
Graphotherapy is an applied approach to handwriting science that promotes positive psychological and behavioral changes by consciously modifying one’s handwriting. For example, by improving the shape and slant of letters, the goal is to enhance personal growth and mental health.
Graphology is concerned with “analysis and diagnosis,” while graphotherapy is concerned with “self-improvement,” each using handwriting from a different perspective. Graphotherapy, among others, is a method that is attracting attention in the field of self-improvement and mental health.
