Calligraphy master from Izhevsk

The Udmurt Division of the Russia-1 Channel has prepared a special reportage on the Chinese calligraphy. The main figure is Andrey Volzhanin, a citizen of Izhevsk, who decided ones to learn the basics of Chinese calligraphy no matter what it takes.

Reporter: «It is not a simple ballpoint pen writing. That's why Andrew takes onyx beads and starts with the fingers stretch, a necessary procedure. Only then he takes the brush. He writes with water on a special paper. The written hieroglyph disappears by itself. Then a break with a cup of red tea. This drink helps to bring an internal focus, as the calligraphy master says.»
