What is the difference between Chinese and Japanese calligraphy?

∙ 12y ago
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.

∙ 12y agoChinese calligraphy is prettier, and most of the words in Japanese are from Chinese. Chinese people are smart, they created a wonderful language. love Chinese!
^OMG...
Both cultures use the same calligraphy to some extent. The Japanese use a form of calligraphy that's called kanji, or hanja in Korean that uses the same characters as in China...however if you want to get technical they do have their own characters that are more free flowing and articulate brush strokes...whereas Chinese characters have more subtle brush stroke coordination

Is there a major difference between the Japanese language and the Chinese language?
There are many differences between the two languages, but it takes time to spot them. Japanese is often written in kanji, which is Chinese calligraphy but is also made up of katakana and hiragana, two alphabets used only by the Japanese language. The language itself is very different, because it is a different country, culture and lifestyle. The number system is taken from the Chinese language, but it should be noted that Japanese has its own counting system that isn't recognized by many people striving to learn Japanese. It should be realized that these are two separate languages, and it would be a much shorter list to recognize the similarities rather than the differences.
