I forgot completely, that it is a complex topic, sorry, I mean that, writing calligraphy, but the original question was aimed at anything: practicing caligraphy, writing caligraphy, practicing kanji... and so on.
If I can recall correctly, the Chinese tradition stated that the calligraphy, was meant to be with a set of rules, and it was a 'copyist' tradition, meaning that the characters were meant to look the same all the time.
However in japan [in modern times] , there were some ideologies stating that, there should be some freedom of expression, thus, there are some calligraphy works that involve new ways of portraying the characters.
Am I ill-informed? if not my question is: are there any forms of calligraphy works (written calligraphy) that would look too unusual (I am not saying this in a negative sense), regarding the materials employed, or the places where they are done?
