> yes, calligraphy is hard.  i can't even write ascii based stuff now after

I was raised in such Kanji calture where it's very natural we can't read
ancient Kanji writings, because it's too much artificial.

When I was at Old Bible's museum in Jerusalem, I was much surprised
that a young mother is reading that Bible, written 2000 years ago!, to
her daughter.   And I couldn't stop to ask her why you can read such
an old document, and her answer was, well it's not easy to read it,
because a bit art like.   I felt that every nation has a similar tendency
to write their words in art like if possible.   However, in case of
Kanji, it's hard to read if it's written, and importantly we feel it
beautifuller, in art like...
