    AFAIK it could be some kind of Shinto shamanistic/oracle-type
calligraphy
system (sort of like "automatic writing"). Or it could be talismanic
writing
of some kind - to make charms to appease, invoke or repel different
spirits.
Or it could simply be a Zen-influenced calligraphy style. Or "all of
the
above" ;)

Do you remember what this "spirit writing" looked like? Did it feature lines with circles in them? Imperative
