"Original Kaoh" Writing Tutorial Video 5. "Original Kaoh" Writing Practice Sheet "Kaoh" has a thousand-year history and was cherished as the "ultimate single-character signature" from the Heian period to the Edo period. "Kaoh" is also a word that expresses the Japanese aesthetic of "signing beautifully like a flower," and it is a highly artistic Japanese culture that beautifully expresses one's individuality. A charm of "Kaoh" is that it embodies the person's "ambition, beliefs, and wishes." Samurai extensively utilized "Kaoh" not merely as a "signature" but as a "symbol of their soul." Japan has many wonderful traditional cultures, such as calligraphy, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and martial arts. Suiun Arikawa has been practicing "calligraphy" for 33 years. He runs a calligraphy class and teaches many students about the Japanese culture of "calligraphy." Furthermore, he considered how he could contribute to the "inheritance of Japanese culture." He searched for valuable "Japanese culture" that could be known worldwide. Fortunately, he found the perfect Japanese culture. That was his encounter with "Kaoh." The more he researched "Kaoh," the more fascinated he became by its charm. His mission is to let people around the world know the charm of "Kaoh" and to "pass on" "Kaoh" to the next generation.
