 Shodo Iwagaki Shares Spiritualitycity3.6
Shodo Iwagaki is a self-taught artist who has achieved his level of mastery in the art through his own long meditation to gain his own understandings of the existential question of what life is and his becoming what in Buddhism is known as an enlightenment-being or one who has found his Buddhahood.
Shodo says that he lives alone in a temple on a mountain and spends his days showing his art to people and creates his works at night when he is in isolation from all outside stimuli.
Shodo expressed happiness that people have responded so well to his art and have journeyed to his temple just to view them and discuss them with him.

I think it would be hard to paint shodo charactors because I'm not used to painting with a paint brush, I'm used to holding a pen or pencil.
I think it will be kind of hard when we try to do shodo characters using a paint brush it was even hard to draw it by a pencil.
When you would use a paintbrush to do shodo characters I think it would be hard as it is hard enough to do it with a pen or pencil.

 Shudokan Martial Arts Association: Online Articles: Davey: Budo and the Art of Japanese Calligraphy
Perhaps, through the practice of Shodo, Western martial artists can come to also understand the other so-called "impenetrable" Japanese cultural arts that the bushi considered an invaluable part of his education, and which are so rarely explored by Budoka today.
In Shodo, all mistakes are final, just as in the martial arts a mistake ultimately, or at least symbolically, results in the Budoka's death.
Shodo is, thus, an art that can be appreciated just as much by individuals that cannot read Japanese as by those that can.

 Fine Japanese Calligraphy Shodo by Master Calligrapher Hugh Cann, Japanese Gift Ideas, Imported, custom made, ...
The influence and interest in shodo, along with its cousins sumie (ink drawing), tougei (ceramics), ikebana (flower arrangement) and to a lesser degree sado (art of Tea) has gradually but steadily increased in the West.
Neither is it particularly necessary to know the meaning of the word or character to appreciate the work.
The word shodo (stretched ‘o’ at the end) means 'way of writing.' In contrast to the often-neat uniformity prescribed by Western pen calligraphy and design philosophy, the diffused ink, dry brush strokes, and inkblots are an expression of naturalness rather than fault.
