The current issue of "Saudi Aramco World" magazine (what, doesn't everyone subscribe to this??) has a neat article on Arabic calligraphy in Japan:

Thank you,

It is in the Japanese nature to do something 100%, and bind things with tradition. They are still allowed to take the time to do so, in many things. The respect of tradition, allows the real artists to make a living doing that, instead of throwing paint at a canvas on a wall, and calling it art.
