Best Answer

Calligraphers do calligraphy as well as their ability allows. So yes, some Japanese calligraphers can do it even more beautifully than some Chinese ones, and vice-versa.

What is the difference between Chinese and Japanese calligraphy?

Japanese calligraphy is based off of Chinese calligraphy and shares many of the same characters and means.

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.
