A Kanji Stroke Order Manual for Heart Sutra Copying

Look at the cover. If the characters depicted look difficult, you're right, they are. If you have never attempted characters of that complexity before then this book won't help you. In the author's own words, "In this kanji stroke order manual for Heart Sutra copying I assume that you are acquainted with the required Japanese calligraphy supplies and know the basic technique and brush strokes of Japanese calligraphy.". In other words, if you struggle with your brush stroke forms this book will not help you at all. In fact you will be prone to making the same mistakes over and over; reinforcing your bad habits. I hope this review helps.

Helpful as a Shodo practice aid.

Very happy about this product.
