 | | Calligraphy has influenced most major art styles in East Asia, including sumi-e, a style of Chinese and Japanese painting based entirely on calligraphy. | | | Contemporary artists in the Islamic world draw on the heritage of calligraphy to use calligraphic inscriptions or abstractions in their work. | | | Calligraphy (from Greek καλλος kallos "beauty" + γραφος graphos "writing") is the art of beautiful writing. |

| | East Asian calligraphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Calligraphy has also led to the development of many other forms of art in East Asia, including seal carving, ornate paperweights, and inkstones. | | | Today, calligraphy may also be done using a pen, but pen calligraphy does not enjoy the same prestige as traditional brush calligraphy. | | | Although such calligraphic works are temporary (as the water will eventually dry), they serve the dual purpose of both being an informal public display of one's work, and an opportunity to further practice one's calligraphy. |

| | His calligraphy is derived from the li shu script of China, but his sense of pictorial composition, harmony within asymmetry, and animation wrought by unmatched, forceful strokes led to the creation of a dynamic style of his own. | | | Under the influence of Chinese culture, calligraphy was always closely connected with painting in Korea, and some believe that painting was influenced by calligraphy in terms of the vitality, rhythm, and economy of strokes. | | | Technically speaking, the art of calligraphy depends on the skill and imagination of the writer to give interesting shape to his brush strokes and to compose beautiful structures from them. |

| | Calligraphy |
| | Calligraphy until then had not been regarded as an independent art form and an effort was made to camouflage the empty spaces and irregularities in the scripts by filling them in with various kinds of decoration. | | | The art of calligraphy is deeply indebted to Yaqut al-Musta’simi, whose handwritten Koran, collection of Koranic verses and various other works, both original and copied, are today among some of the most valued items in the collections of libraries and museums throughout the world, especially in Istanbul. | | | Many people earned their living either by calligraphy or by book illumination or in the industries associated with these arts such as paper finishing, marbling and the production of paper, ink, inkstands, pens, pencases, pen sharpeners, nib holders, scissors, paper pads, portfolios and reed pens. |
