Is calligraphy art in Korea?

Calligraphy is more than just a practice of writing letters. And in Korea, calligraphy is also an art form. In all the cultures that took influence from China, calligraphy is a discipline that requires mastering the mind. Korean calligraphy is not exempt from this. Its creators draw the brushes not only encouraging messages, poems or sayings. With their calligraphy, they leave their spirit, their character, and their emotions on paper.

In the East Asian region, calligraphy as an art emerged in China. It originated alongside painting and shared the same tools: brush and ink. Calligraphy has long been considered an art. And it was until the Song dynasty that the painting achieved the same status. The spread of Buddhism gave way to the entry of Chinese characters to Korea, which, eventually, got adapted into various writing methods for the Korean language. Due to that and the evolution taking place afterward, calligraphy is an art form in Korea.
