Korean calligraphy
The history of calligraphy in Korea is very long. Prior to the post-war republican period, very little calligraphy of merit was done in hangul, the Korean national script. Scribes, both judicial and civil, and the educated classes traditionally used Chinese script, most often official Ming-style scripts in writing. Calligraphy does occur in Korean painting which is a cojoined by also separate subject.
Rubbings of stele in Korea have given historically an archive of Korean calligraphy styles going back as far as the sixth century Silla era.
Artists in Korea used broader, less shaped brushes with thicker ink and chose thicker brush-strokes for writing, which makes identifying even Chinese ideograms by Korean hands from the Joseon Dynasty relatively simple.
