The history of calligraphy is, in other words, the history of letters, and without letters, human history, civilization, and human intentions have not been woven into the present day. The calligraphy culture of Japan and China is a culture unlike any other in the world, in which such characters are not mere symbols, but find artistic views and the aesthetic sense of the writers. Teikyo University Research Institute of Calligraphy is disseminating the charm and depth of such calligraphy culture.
About Calligraphy Institute
Philosophy of the Institute
Established in 1931, Teikyo Commercial School, the predecessor of the university, has set the three pillars of "personal pottery," "practical education," and "encouragement of physical education and martial arts" as its educational policy. Professor in the form of "practical education", which is positioned as "the most important section of the actual company" Education was flourishing. Even after the establishment of the university, the philosophy of such calligraphy education has not changed, and now I am in charge of the education of this university under the founding School Philosophy of "“One’s way”". At the Calligraphy Research Institute, we aim to inherit the philosophy of "Teikyo Calligraphy," which is the history of calligraphy at our university, and to return it to society at large.
