In
Shikoku Chuo City in Ehime Prefecture, which boasts the highest output
of calligraphy paper, the ancient art of calligraphy has always been a
formal and traditional practice. However, after a group of high school
students see their beloved hometown gradually decline in prosperity,
they decide to host a calligraphy performance contest in an attempt to
restore the city's former vitality. As they dance around on
paper to pop music and use large brushes to write, students compete
against each other to determine who has the best calligraphy
performance skills.
Based on a true story about a group of students from Ehime Mishima High School, Shodo Girls! tells a tale of hope as youthful vigor meets ancient art. The calligraphy performance contest has since become a tradition in the region and was held for the fifth time in 2012.
