In the United States and Europe we are generally taught to hold a pencil in a certain way, and that technique is drilled into us from childhood. Many calligraphers and painters carry that tradition over to their artwork. However, the way a calligraphy brush is held in the Japanese and Chinese tradition is quite different.
Your art is your own. You are free to design your works of art in any way you wish. At the same time, sometimes it's useful to learn how an art form was done traditionally, especially if your aim is to honor or follow in the footsteps of past masters.
I want to note that I was not raised in a calligraphy household. I haven't trained for hours each day since childhood in Chinese-style brush work. This video demonstrates my approach as an adult artist who uses the calligraphy as part of my artistic and origami projects.
Please ask with any questions, I'm happy to help! If you'd like a video on another aspect of using this kit, just let me know.
