Your posture and the way you hold the brush are very important when beginning shodo. After learning the correct posture and grip, learn how to write many types of lines using the brush.
Next, receive some Japanese words to practice such as 'love,' 'heart,' 'friend,' 'dream,' or 'samurai.' You can practice as many times as you like. Do not hesitate to ask your teacher questions.
