This exhibit traces the history of early writing in China and Japan. Characters were developed in China over time and then introduced into Japan and adapted. Calligraphic styles in both countries evolved into distinctive forms that each display functionality and beauty.
The display, created with funding from the Center for Asian Studies and the University Libraries, is offered in conjunction with the Center for Humanities and the Arts 2010-2011 “China” theme.
Exhibit is located on the first level of Norlin library adjacent to the Stoa gallery
