The art of calligraphy is practiced throughout East Asia and has developed unique characteristics based on the distinct writing systems used in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cultures. Calligraphy is written using a brush and ink. The brush is typically made from animal hair, while the ink is made from a combination of soot (burnt wood), animal glue, and water.
