書道- Where History and Self-Expression Meet | Oskar Hellstorm | TEDxTohokuUniversity

Japanese calligraphy is both art and history. The aesthetics present in Japanese calligraphy have been developed over thousands of years, and the study of it gives an interesting point of view into both Chinese and Japanese culture. Practicing Japanese calligraphy requires both an artistic mind and an interest in history. The hidden world of Japanese calligraphy has become a passion of Oskar Hellström, who after finding it by chance, has continued to study the art. The art of Japanese calligraphy is filled with hidden knowledge and techniques only those that spend years and years of practice are privileged to.
Oskar Hellstorm is from Finland and works part-time at a retirement home and teaches introductory courses on Japan to elementary school children. He has his bachelor degree in logistics from Arcada University and has received a 師範 degree in Japanese calligraphy. He has also served in the military for a year after high school. He connects the theme to himself and feels that his knowledge of calligraphy was hidden from him and when he discovered it, he loved the hidden knowledge that was passed on to him. He spends most of his time practising Japanese calligraphy and usually plays sports such as soccer and disc golf. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
