A Dictionary of Japanese Calligraphy (professional)

Very good dictionary of KANJI (Japanese ideograms) “Gotai jirui 五體字類” There are 5,175 KANJIs in five styles : 楷・行・草・隷・篆書


This is the very common dictionary that the SHODO-learner in Japan use. It is not written in English but written only in Japanese. (I also use it).

In the dictionary you can find different instances of KANJIS that are written in different scripts. As an example I show you a page where you can find the KANJI 愛 (love).
