Each of these types of calligraphy is expressed in modern fashion with its own purpose. The calligraphy are used in different ways in terms of style, character and direction according to the origin of each method, on this basis, calligraphy are used in cases of integration between them to integrate two types of cultures of different origins to create a new vision for creative designs and formations. Study importance in the heritage revival for both countries, Egypt and Japan, and to benefit from the heritage of the Arabic and Japanese calligraphy.
