Korean calligraphy (서예, 書藝) is a variant of Chinese calligraphy, formerly applied to Chinese characters to transcribe Korean speech. It later also applied to the Korean alphabet (Hangul). Hangul introduces the circle stroke. Korean courts and gentry sustained local masters, and build up a local tradition with specific techniques, graphic tastes, favorite contents, and famous masters.
