Hop, voilà l'outil.

La calligraphie et les idéogrammes japonais.

L'écriture d'un peuple est en partie révélateur de son histoire et de sa culture.

C'est le cas du Japon bien sûr, qui a importé ses idéogrammes (ou kanji) de Chine et qui les a fait coller à sa langue orale, de sorte qu'ils ont en général deux prononciations selon les mots (japonaise seul, ou chinoise quand ils sont associés).

Apprendre le japonais passe par l'apprentissage de ses caractères. Par nécessité tout d'abord, afin d'associer des syllabes inconnues pour nous à des sens. Mais aussi par moyen mnémotechnique.

Les kanji portent le sens. Ils sont ensuite mentalement associés à des sons. C'est l'inverse de notre écriture, où les lettres portent un son, que l'on associe ensuite à un sens. C'est redoutablement efficace pour la lecture (une fois que l'on en a appris un petit millier, ça suffit pour la vie courante).

Chaque caractère est souvent l'association d'autres plus élémentaires. On apprend à les tracer, dans un ordre et selon une logique bien particulière. Le nombre de traits est une des entrées des dictionnaires, et il n'est pas toujours instinctif pour nous : par exemple, un carré (la bouche), c'est trois traits.

En apprenant à les tracer, on apprécie ensuite la calligraphie, où le pinceau met en dynamique les traits de l'artiste.

Et il y a un côté ludique. un caractère avec un homme contre un arbre (stylisés) veut dire : repos (yasumi). Deux arbres (hayashi), c'est un bois ; trois, une forêt (mori). Une voiture électrique, c'est le train (densha). Et caetera.

Sur la photo, vous avez le soleil (ni en prononciation chinoise) suivi de la racine (hon) avec donc un trait inférieur barrant l'arbre. Racine = origine (qui tout seul veut dire livre, origine de la culture ?), l'origine du soleil est le soleil levant, et Nihon le pays associé.

J'en avais appris plusieurs centaines. Mais les mots les plus nouveaux et technologiques sont désormais directement et phonétiquement importés de l'anglais, ainsi il faut utiliser le syllabaire katakana (sorte d'alphabet de 46 syllabes) dédié aux mots étrangers et comprendre la manière dont ceux-ci sont déformés pour rentrer dans les sons japonais. Il existe aussi le même syllabaire traditionnel hiragana pour marquer les sons et la grammaire (par exemple, un suffixe pour mettre un verbe au passé).

Bref, c'est passionnant !

Working on the new calligraphy typeface

Learning something old anew
#Calligraphy #Devnagri

Had a great time demo-ing at the SF Public Library on Saturday for Friends of Calligraphy’s Kalligraphia 2025. I explained how English Roundhand developed from Cancellaresca (Italic) and how to write it with a small broadedge pen.

More of the same, but this time with the controversial Lamy Dark Lilac (first image was with Diamine Dragon Blood). With the round nib, the weird green shading/shimmer of this version of Dark Lilac is really clear.

Image of writing in a notebook. The writing reads:
If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. ~ abcdefghijklmnopqrstu…

I get the Sunday Screamies really bad. Every week (I’m working on it). So I try to fill my Sundays with activities that tickle my nervous system in soothing ways.

Today’s experiment was a fun new round nib, which I’ve seen in practice but never used. I picked it up at Art Supply Warehouse, which was having a “block party” sale today. I didn’t go in with a plan, but I like going there for inspiration. I spotted this nib and went for it.

Image of some writing in a journal. The lettering is round and thick, with a lot of color variation. The ink is a dark blood red. The text reads:
Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place. ~ When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. ~ The Master observes the world but trusts his inner vision. ABCDEFGHIJKLM!

Experimenting with Osmiroid Easy Change #FountainPen with shadow #calligraphy nibs. The one shown here is the SH4, and there are also SH5 and SH6 which are wider.

Diamine Aurora Borealis in Pilot Parallel fountain pen

Inspired to do this one after watching girl_dm blitz through the Lies of P DLC!

#calligraphy #fountainpen #aviators #liesofp

The chorus to Aviator's 'Liar Liar', hand-lettered in a blue/teal ink in a LOTR-inspired style. A blue wax seal of a howling wolf is affixed.

'So now you hang me on the headstone
While you tell me to be brave
But I have cut the strings completely
From the tangled weave you made
Is it the heart you gave that cursed me?
Knowing soon you’d tear it out?
A father’s moment to speak truly
So tell me, who’s the liar now?'

Damn I've got a lot of quotes i did a whiiiile ago that are sadly still relevant...

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.”—Dwight D Eisenhower
