Headword 1精習
Reading 1せいしゅう
Part-of-speechn
English 1learning a skill (?)
ReferenceThis word is often found in relation to calligraphy. There are books called 書道精習講座. Also, when commenting on a student's work, a teacher may often write "更に精習を" (as, for example, in the monthly magazine of the 東北書道会), although I'm unsure what exactly this means.
CommentI have been unable to find this word in any Japanese-English dictionary, and my IME does not recognize it. I will, however, check my 角川新字源 kanji dictionary to see if it is listed as a compound under 精.
