An experiment using motion pictures at Daito Bunka University revealed that there was a marked difference in the movement of the brush in the vertical direction depending on the amount of calligraphy experience.Daito Bunka University will continue to analyze this experiment in detail and proceed with the collection and research of scientific experimental data on calligraphy.
According to Daito Bunka University, this experiment was conducted by three graduate students who have been in calligraphy since elementary school, an intermediate student in the Department of Calligraphy, and a senior vice president, Toshiharu Kawauchi, who is also active as a calligrapher. subject.We drew five letters "Michi" for each, measured the heart rate, and investigated the movement of the body and the change in pressure with a motion capture, a motion sensor, and a force plate (floor reaction force meter).
As a result, it was found that the movement of the brush differs depending on the experience value of the calligraphy of the subject, and there is a large difference especially in the vertical movement.The beginners had a small vertical intonation, while the intermediate ones had a clear measurement of the intonation, while the advanced ones had small movements in addition to the intonation.
Daito Bunka University is focusing on calligraphy education, such as having the only calligraphy research institute in Japan. As the university celebrates its 2023th anniversary in 100, a "Science of Calligraphy" project team will be established to convert the inside of human beings into scientific data through calligraphy. I decided to verify it.
