What Is The Calligraphy?

Calligraphy is the art of making beautiful or elegant handwriting. It is a fine art of skilled penmanship.

The word calligraphy literally means beautiful writing. Before the invention of the printing press some 500 years ago, it was the way books were made. Each copy was handwritten out by a scribe working in a scriptorium. The hand writing was done with quill and ink onto materials like vellum or parchment. The lettering style applied was one of the period bookhands like rustic, carolingian, blackletter, etc.

I love Korean character Calligraphy. China and Japan character Calligraphy are very popular in the world, but Korean character Calligraphy is not popular than China and Japan character, because a few years ago, It was not popular and unuseful in Korea. However, It has been becoming popular in Korea.
