== East Asian calligraphy ==
Asian calligraphy typically uses [[ink brush]]es to write [[Chinese character]]s (called '''Hanzi''' in [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Hanja]] in [[Korean language|Korean]], [[Kanji]] in [[Japanese language|Japanese]], and [[Hán Tự]] in [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]]). Calligraphy (in Chinese, ''Shufa'' 書法, in [[Korean language|Korean]], ''Seoye'' 書藝, in Japanese ''Shodō'' 書道}}, all meaning "the way of writing") is considered an important art in [[East Asia]] and the most refined form of East Asian [[painting]].
