- Title: The Lady Shodō
- Artist: Lady_Eldae
- Description: This avatar is based off of some inspiration of ancient Japanese calligraphy, particularly the Lotus Sutra, or the Hokke Gisho, that was written early in the 7th century and is considered the oldest Japanese text. It is written in a cursive script and illustrates that calligraphy in the Asuka period was already refined to a high degree. Elegant and detailed, this calligraphy inspired this avatar, as well as cultural Japanese attire. Shodō also, literally, means the way or principle of writing.
