Japanese Calligraphy "祈" = PRAY in Japanese Kanji written with black ink on white paper By Japanese Calligrapher SEICHO
I chose this word because 26 years ago today the Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake occurred in Japan. I was in Kyoto at that day and very shocked more than 6400 people passed away including my friends' family. I pray for all victims of the earthquake every year.

What is SHODO?
SHODO (書道) is Japanese calligraphy, also called shūji (習字) is a form of calligraphy, or artistic writing, of the Japanese language. For a long time, the most esteemed calligrapher in Japan had been Wang Xizhi, a Chinese calligrapher from the 4th century, but after the invention of Hiragana and Katakana, the Japanese unique syllabaries, the distinctive Japanese writing system developed and calligraphers produced styles intrinsic to Japan. The term shodō (書道, "way of writing") is of Chinese origin as it is widely used to describe the art of Chinese calligraphy during the medieval Tang dynasty.
