筆の持ち方２ 単鉤法（たんこうほう）Japanese Calligraphy Brush

鉛筆・ペンを持つ持ち方です。親指・人差し指で軸を持ち。中指で下から支えます。細字を書くときに適した持ち方ですが、大字を書く時でもよいです。

Hold the calligraphy brush like you probably hold a pencil. Place your pointer finger on top of the brush and your thumb on the bottom. Use your remaining three fingers to stable the brush. This way of holding the brush is good for writing small letters, but you can also write big letters using this style as well.
