Sōsho is a traditional Japanese form of calligraphy that emphasizes the beauty of brush strokes and the fluidity of writing. It is often characterized by its spontaneous and expressive style, allowing the artist to convey emotions and thoughts through the movement of the brush. Sōsho is commonly used for writing poetry, letters, and other artistic expressions. This style is part of a broader category of Japanese calligraphy known as shodō, which includes other forms like kaisho (block style) and gyōsho (semi-cursive). Sōsho is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and is often practiced by artists and calligraphers in Japan and beyond.
