Japanese calligraphy is based off of Chinese calligraphy and shares many of the same characters and means. In calligraphy paintings, both focus heavily on landscapes; however, the Japanese style is more graphic, and uses black outlines and has animated/personified qualities to its clouds and water. Chinese calligraphic painting is much more calm and realistic. Overall, they both use similar paintbrushes, physical postures, rice paper, many of the same characters, and the same type of inks.

Calligraphy was introduced to ancient Japan during the 5th century, primarily through the influence of Chinese culture and the introduction of Buddhism. The earliest forms of Japanese writing were derived from Chinese characters, and calligraphy became an essential art form as it was used for religious texts, poetry, and official documents. Over time, Japanese calligraphy evolved to incorporate unique styles and scripts, reflecting the country's cultural identity.
In Japanese, calligraphy is called shodou, or "the way of writing".
If you are referring to Chinese Calligraphy, it is called 书法 shu(1) fa(3) in Mandarin.
Japanese people adopted aspects of Chinese language poetry in sculptures by incorporating calligraphy, inscriptions, and ornamental elements inspired by Chinese poetry into their sculptural works. This influence can be seen in the use of poetic verses inscribed on sculptures, as well as in the aesthetic elements such as flowing lines and delicate details that reflect the influence of Chinese poetry on Japanese sculptural art.

For example, the Japanese usually use kanji for their numbers, meaning they are the same as in Chinese but whereas Chinese is yi, er, san, sietc. Japanese is ichi, ni, san, shi etc.
