“Communication”
Today, Japan is a country of major technical development. They’ve invented robots who can write for them, and have adapted to using high-tech pens as their major source of scripting. Thus, calligraphy tools are now rarely seen in the modern society of Japan. People seem to think that it’s not necessary anymore to go through the fuss of scraping fresh inks, mixing their own ink, or preparing their own writing-brushes anymore. Now the main forms of communication is based on technology- emails, text messaging, and phone calls. Letters are still written now , but they are mostly typed up, printed out, inserted into and envelope an then posted into a mailbox. In the days of Ancient Japan, letters were commonly used as a form of communication, except hand written, and sent by foot. Back in ancient Japan only nobles had the privilege to learn how to write. Today, this is a different case. Everyone is encouraged, and has a right to education- reading and writing has almost become common sense. Paintings and origami are also not often used anymore now, but instead is used as a form of entertainment, and is regarded as art. I think that it is really ironic how Japan has one of the most notable literacy histories, and has developed into one of the most technological countries yet.
