Calligraphy Club
CharacterThe Calligraphy Club is a recreational society within Soul Society devoted to the practice of traditional Japanese brush writing, chaired by the reserved noble captain Byakuya Kuchiki and drawing a handful of notable Shinigami to its meetings.
Overview
Founded for the pursuit of classical Japanese calligraphy, this club is one of several recreational societies that exist among the Shinigami of Soul Society. It gathers in a dedicated room on the Kuchiki Estate and falls under the wider affiliation of Soul Society itself.
Role
The group's purpose is straightforward: its members meet to practice the traditional art of the brush. It operates on a budget of 150,000 kan, and like the other clubs it draws occasional visitors during break times, most notably Yachiru Kusajishi, who tends to swing by whenever snacks are on offer.
Notable Members
Byakuya Kuchiki presides as chairman, joined by fellow captains Retsu Unohana and Jushiro Ukitake. Renji Abarai turned up to a single meeting, and only because he had been invited. Yachiru's visits usually end in disappointment, since Byakuya frequently serves treats shaped like his own original creation, the Wakame Ambassador, which she finds too strange to eat and departs without touching.
