Hüsn-i Hat, Traditional Calligraphy in Islamic Art in Turkey
Hüsn-i Hat is one of the Turkish calligraphy arts used in religious and literary texts, as it dates back to many centuries ago. This art is an old practice of writing letters of Arabic origin in a deliberate and proportional manner, considering aesthetic values.
Its tools include glazed paper and reed pen, in addition to ink made of soot. Many calligraphers make their own instruments and pass on their knowledge and craft skills to their students.
