“The machine itself consists of multiple engines and a mechanical arm which is attached to a brush. Its hard drive has been imbued with the skills of 90-year-old Juho Sado, a master calligrapher who taught the robot how to write a series of ‘Kanji’ characters down to the most imperceptible of wrist movements and brush strokes. ‘When you take the brush, it’s as if the master himself is holding your hand and guiding you,’ said Ayaka Matsui, an assistant of Professor Katsura who teaches children how to use the robot during introductory workshops at the university.”
