Calligraphy

Calligraphy is a revered art form in Vietnam, especially during the country's most famous holiday, Tet. The Vietnamese term for calligraphy is “Thu Phap,” which means “the rule of writing.” However, calligraphy is not just about writing words on paper; it's an art form that requires the artist to infuse their soul and feelings into each character, while ensuring that every stroke looks beautiful.

To practice calligraphy, one needs ink brushes, black ink, paper, and an inkstone. With these simple tools, the artist creates their work freehand, guided by their mastery and inspiration alone.

Calligraphy arts in Vietnam originated from China, but have evolved to become a harmonious blend of East and West, tradition and modernity. Whether you're a seasoned calligrapher or a curious beginner, Vietnam is an excellent place to buy or practice this exquisite art form.
