Japanese Calligraphy

The Pillow Book is a 1996 film by  director Peter Greenaway based on the The Pillow Book from Sei Shōnagon (清少納言), a Japanese author and a court lady who served the Empress Teishi/Empress Sadako. The film stars Vivian Wu and Ewan McGregor.

While watching the film I couldn’t stop thinking about the value of writing nowadays. How worth and respectable the act of writing for itself is today? Is still any beauty left in this act?
