中国是日本文化之源,书法也不例外。但不可否认的是,日本的书法艺术,无论从普及程度、规模、装裱质量等,都已超过了书法的母国——中国。五六个日本人中,就有一个练书法的关于日本的书法爱好者,没有一个精确的数字,一般认为有两三千万,也就是说五六个日本人中,就有一个练书法的。称得起书法家,能举办个展、出作品集的人,全日本大约有100万人之多。书法的极大普及,与日本人重视书法教育关系密切。日本中小学校都开设有书法课。 China is the source of Japanese culture, calligraphy is no exception. However, it is undeniable that the art of calligraphy in Japan has surpassed the country of calligraphy - China, from the perspective of popularity, scale and mounting quality. Among the fifty-six Japanese, there is a calligraphy practitioner who does not have a precise number of calligraphic writers about Japanese calligraphy. Generally speaking, there are twenty or thirty million Chinese calligraphers, that is, one or five Japanese calligraphists . There are about 1 million people in Japan who can afford calligraphers and who can organize solo shows and works of art. The great popularity of calligraphy, and the Japanese emphasis on calligraphy education are closely related. Japanese primary and secondary schools have opened a calligraphy class.
