Wayo

Wayo is the artform of calligraphy. It is the artistic writing of Rokguan, and believed to be the embodiment of the spirit of the Crane Clan. Each movement with a brush can only be made once, as the ink is indelible, leaving no hope to being again on that piece of paper. It is more than simple writing of words, and often people can be judged by the beauty of their writing, and treaties have even been refused due to flaws in the artists writing. The tubular brushes used are known as fude, the black ink is sumi and the characters written are kanji. (Crane p. 66)
