It uses kanjii/hanzi, not huragana or katakana
Japanese calligraphy doesn't use Hiragana or Katakana, only kanji. Intranetusa 23:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contribution, but your edit isn't correct. There is vast range of calligraphic works written in Hiragana. --Amagase 11:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Amagase is right, Hiragana is used in Shodoo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.183.223 (talk) 08:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Edo Period?
The article is blank in several places where one might surmise that it shouldn't be. What's the deal there? I have no information to contribute, but the blanks seem out of place. 72.130.89.63 (talk) 05:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's pretty bare, but if you read Japanese, there is ja:日本の書道史. Bendono (talk) 06:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Hiragana is definetely used in Japanese Calligraphy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.202.135.226 (talk) 03:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Added some photos, tools section
This article seems to focus mostly on historical topics and its relation to Zen. There's little or no mention of how shodō is done today, so I took some photos and uploaded them to the article, and wrote out a section on tools and how they are prepared. Further information is needed to expand this article so it isn't just a historical one. --Ph0kin (talk) 07:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
