For Japanese there is: 篆書、隷書、楷書、行書、草書. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-cursive_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-cursive_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script_(East_Asia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script_(East_Asia) Can see more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_calligraphy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_calligraphy
