I have a book about shodo calligraphy. with many examples. It does depend on how keen one is to study really.

I did have a few lessons from a Chinese gentleman-- teaching the basic shapes and how to achieve them-- but that was straightforward, he suggested I practise on old telephone books. I do have some books of Katakana where one copies each syllable until they become decent copies.

Of course the SHODO is a different ballgame.

As no doubt Ryruui would tell you. One does need to see how to hold the brush correctly which is difficult from a book. There is nothing to touch watching an expert.

PS thanks for those webs\ites Ryruui-- really excellent.
