The post Linda Yoshida is Bringing Back the Art of Handwriting appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>After years of dipping her pen into ink, Linda Yoshida still considers herself a perpetual student of calligraphy as she works her way to excellence with every pen stroke.
With some 20k fans on Instagram, Yoshida’s first introduction to the art of handwriting was in the sixth grade. “My teacher had the most beautiful handwriting and taught us basic Italic Hand,” she recalled in an interview with The Pen Company. “I was so inspired by her that I would sit at my desk after finishing my homework and practice my cursive over and over.”
Little did she know that it was the beginning of a lifelong journey. Over the years, Yoshida studied with master calligraphers and is now a proud member of the Society for Calligraphy guild in Southern California and volunteers as the Lead Graphic Designer for the guild’s Calligraph journal. But to this day, she continues to attend classes and workshops, with the notion that practice makes perfect.
“Calligraphy is a life-long learning experience,” says Yoshida. “We need to be constantly learning and honing our skills in order for calligraphy to stay relevant, and to keep up with the changing times and client requests. I firmly believe that to be a good calligrapher, we need to study from the old masters.”
A perpetual student, Yoshida might just teach you a lesson or two about writing and dedication. Follow her Instagram page for more.

]]>Currently residing in Berkeley, California, Yamaguchi’s artwork is a unique blend of performance and installation art with calligraphy, pushing the boundaries of traditional Eastern classics and contemporary artistic expression. By juxtaposing the traditional Eastern classics with contemporary artistic expressions, she manages to transform the two-dimensional art of Japanese calligraphy into the art of physical expression through performances.
But funnily enough, growing up, Yamaguchi was attracted to a whole other side of creative writing, with her childhood dream being: to become a novel writer. “I started to read and write around age 3,” she relayed in an interview with The Design Kids. “Around 5-6 years old, I made a series of picture books with my illustrations and my little fantasy stories. […] “I remember bringing the book I made to the calligraphy school and showing it to Master Sato. My childhood dream was to become a novel writer.”
With a clear passion for writing, Yamaguchi’s calligraphy art is thought-provoking as it is striking.

]]>“Eventually I discovered that making art was a great way to have fun,” she recalled. “My mother didn’t mind letting me draw or paint on certain walls, and we had a sand driveway that I could make line drawings in after it rained. My grandmother used to color and paint with me, and I remember watching her and thinking, ‘I wish I could keep inside the lines like that!’”
Eventually, she found her true calling in calligraphy, adding a contemporary twist to an ancient art. “I don’t use traditional calligraphy styles,” she says. “I like making up styles as I go. Often I create new styles depending on the client and what I think will be best for their event.”
Lending her skills to clients, as well as teaching calligraphy lessons, means that Bugbee’s days are full. But you can catch some of her work on her Instagram page, where she has gathered almost 100k followers.
