Korean Calligraphy

History & About

Korean calligraphy, is seen as a pure art from in the Korean culture, and other Asian cultures. It is one of Korea’s most loved art forms. The calligrapher’s brush strokes flows, and dances, across surfaces producing beautiful letter forms. The subject matter of the calligraphy and personality of the calligrapher combines in the letterforms.

The Korean alphabet was created in 1447. Although the Koreans at that period began their own alphabet, they still used the Chinese alphabet as their official writing up until the 19th century. A person looking at East Asian calligraphy for the first time might find it hard to tell the differences between Korean and other Asian calligraphy types. But when you have recognised and learnt the basics of each Eastern Asian calligraphy type, you will instantly know the differences between them. Modern calligraphy in Korea is tying to steer away from other calligraphy types mainly Chinese.
