Abstract

In calligraphy, calligraphers express their emotions in calligraphic characters and that impress people who view the characters. Calligraphers generally acquire tacit techniques for expressing emotions by themselves and, therefore, the knowledge on the technique is difficult to be shared. We experimentally studied features of calligraphic characters expressing five different emotions, using writings created by an expert calligrapher. We classified fundamental strokes comprising the characters based on stroking methods defined in ‘Eijihappo’ and then extracted knowledge on emotion expression techniques in drawing strokes.
