What is Emoji calligraphy?(Fudemoji)
It is a kind of free style of calligraphy using a simple brush pen like this. I have not been good at formal Japanese calligraphy since I was a child because there are too many rules. So I really envied those who could write well, and I always wanted to be like them. However, I gave up trying to become good at it and became fascinated with these Emoji calligraphy which I can write freely.
