OK. Let's stick to that.

I think "kanji" is fine when the term relates specifically to Japanese but 楷書 doesn't so I prefer "Chinese characters" here.

Some of the entries related to calligraphy refer to "Chinese characters" and others to "kanji". Can we settle on one or the other? I prefer "kanji" in the context of explaining Japanese terms, but I'm not fussed if we use the other.
