— Power Calligraphy Description (Rhythm Tengoku)
"Have you ever tried writing Japanese calligraphy? It requires grace, finesse, and a surprising amount of upper-body strength."
— Power Calligraphy Description (Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix)
Template:Game-NavTemplate:Game-NavTemplate:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxPower Calligraphy (リズムお習字?, Rizumu o Shūji) is the 21st game in Rhythm Tengoku, the 3rd Extra game unlocked with 41 Medals in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 23rd game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It's about a man who is learning how to write Japanese calligraphy.
You play as a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. When the giant hand reaches enough power, press A to write. There are six different symbols to write (レ ("Re" Katakana), 、 (a Japanese comma), 力 (power), 己 (oneself), 寸 (sun, a Japanese kind of measurement), 心 (heart), and the characters つるニハ○○ムし (or つ3ニハ○○ムし in the korean version) arranged to form a face). Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.
Controls
Button Mode
A: Write (with power)
Simple Tap Mode
Tap: Write (with power)
Timing Notes
Hit: The symbol is successfully written
Barely: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. A barely counts as a miss.
Miss: If missed completely no marks are made, letting out a sigh.

— Power Calligraphy 2P Description
Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infobox
Power Calligraphy also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Power Calligraphy 2P (リズムお習字 2P?, Rhythm Penmanship 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, except it has a split screen display to accommodate the second player. As a consequence of this design, there is only one column of dancers per screen, and they walk over the paper.
There is a string in Rhythm Tengoku's code reading "リズムお習字 2"[1] directly after the text strings for Remix 8, meaning that this game was meant to have a sequel, but it was scrapped.
If you miss the last one, it automatically drops the chance of getting a superb.
