Abstract
This study compares calligraphy education in the Courses of Study of South Korea and Japan. The subject of "shuji" was taught in both countries before World War II. After the war, it was reorganized within the Korean educational system as a part of art education and called "shoei," and within the Japanese education system as a part of national language education and called "shosha" or "shodo." Since then it has undergone various changes following revisions in each country's Course of Study. This study compares the content of "brush writing education" designated by the Courses of Study for art education in Korea and for Japanese language education in Japan in each period. The aim of the study is to clarify the position of calligraphy education (writing with a brush) in the school education systems of the two countries.
