<\/a>The word „calligraphy” originated from Greek, „kallos” meaning beauty, „graphein” meaning writing. In Korean culture, calligraphy is not solely the practice of the handwriting technique, it also trains and disciplines the mind. While western – and other middle-eastern – calligraphers used goose and other kinds of carved feathers for centuries, the preferred tool of the Far East has always been the brush. <\/p>\n
