Gohitsu Shodo Kai (The Enlightening Brush Japanese Calligraphy Association) is an independent western Japanese calligraphy society founded in 2010 by Esteban Martinez.

Gohitsu Shodo Kai aims to build a community of people looking to train in Shodo as a way to discover their inner spirit, enhance their senses, and find happiness. Unlike traditional calligraphy associations in Japan, Gohitsu Shodo Kai’s mission is not to promote calligraphy education from an academic perspective. Instead, we train in calligraphy and approach it from a Zen and martial arts point of view. We teach the technicality of writing Kanji in harmony with our kiai (spiritual power).
