Scribe of Ancient India

Mission

This site invites you to become a scribe of ancient India.
First as Ashoka’s personal scribe in the 3rd c. BCE, etching edicts in Brahmi on stone and copper.
Then in the Gupta era (4th–6th c. CE), refining the script on palm-leaf and metal.
Finally, in the misty mountains of Yamato, you join Shingon priests — elevating Siddhaṃ to perfected art.
