shodou (japanese calligraphy) basically has three styles, kaisho, gyousho and sousho
kaisho is the formal style, gyousho is the cursive style and sousho is the artistic cursive style
sousho was commonly used until the edo period but now only shodou experts can deal with it
in sousho a lot of kanji look completely different from normal forms so it is generally impossible for modern japanese people to read
it is waaaaaay more artistic than the other two styles though
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

Oh i see! Thank and the hero of Barakamon write the kanji "Kaisho"! in a Shodo style, but if you are see the episode of this week of last week you can see he's making a wonderfull "Kaisho", if i see this in true maybe i can buy something like this! and push it in my wall of my house! XD. :).
And people can see this and say! "Whouaou!' What is this? it's great! and i can say it "It's Kaisho, the formal kanji of "Etoile" in japanese, it's a beautifull kanji!". XD. :)
Hum... I think is very expansif no? XD. :) A big board! :)
