Meito Shodo-kai Calligraphy Association
Fujii-sensei
Meito Shodo-Kai Calligraphy Association aims to promote the tradition of Japanese calligraphy as an art form in the US through education and exhibition.

Meito Shodo-Kai is the largest Japanese calligraphy organization in the US, and is led by Master Calligrapher Yoshiyasu Fujii (President of Akashi USA calligraphy schools) who has over 20 years of calligraphy teaching experience.

The Association has active members in the following areas: Seattle, WA; Redmond, WA; Portland, OR; Los Angeles, CA.

Main activities include:
  • Volunteer instruction in local schools (public and private) through workshops and classes, to spread the experience of Japanese calligraphy to students in the US.

  • Lectures and workshops open to the public free of charge or at minimum charge, on a variety of topics including the practice, history, and technique of Japanese calligraphy.

  • Free performances/demonstrations at local community events to exhibit the art form as a part of authentic Japanese culture in the US. These generally include booths at which visitors can try their hands at calligraphy.

  • Free exhibitions (eight held in Seattle and two held in Portland in the past ten years) by members to showcase the beauty of and increase interest in the art form.

  • Quarterly newsletters, published online and in print in small quantities, highlighting member activities and features written by members.
