Japanese Calligraphy and Language Overview
Japanese calligraphy, known as shodō (書道) and also referred to as shūji (習字), is the artistic practice of writing in the Japanese language. Initially, the most revered figure in Japanese calligraphy was Wang Xizhi, a renowned Chinese calligrapher from the 4th century. However, the development of Japan’s own writing systems—Hiragana and Katakana, collectively known as kana—marked a turning point. These uniquely Japanese syllabaries led to the evolution of calligraphy styles that reflected the country's distinct cultural identity.

It features various regional dialects. Linguists have explored possible connections between Japanese and language families such as Ainu, Austroasiatic, and Altaic, though no theory has gained universal acceptance. While Chinese records from the 3rd century included a few Japanese terms, substantial written texts in Japanese didn't appear until the 8th century.
During the Heian period (794–1185), Chinese exerted significant influence on Japanese vocabulary and pronunciation. The Late Middle Japanese era (1185–1600) saw important linguistic changes that brought the language closer to its modern form, as well as the introduction of some European loanwords. In the Early Modern Japanese period (mid-17th to mid-19th century), the standard dialect shifted from the Kansai region to the Edo area, now known as Tokyo. After Japan ended its self-imposed isolation in 1853, the influx of Western words—especially from English—greatly expanded, and English-based terms have since become widespread in modern Japanese.
