Calligraphy is one of Japan’s traditional arts, boasting a history of over a thousand years. While its origins lie in China, Japanese calligraphy has developed its own unique aesthetics over time. Rather than just a skill of writing characters, calligraphy is an art form expressing one's spirit through the movement of the brush.
In this workshop, beginners can participate with confidence due to careful guidance. Our instructor will carefully guide you through the basics, including how to hold and use the brush properly. While immersing in Japanese culuture, you can also experience the joy~
At the end of the session, you can take home your own artwork, written on a uchiwa (Japanese hand fan) or decorative paper. As a special souvenir, you will also receive a postcard-sized calligraphy piece created by the instructor.
For this special occasion, our instructor will be dressed in a traditional hakama, adding an authentic touch to the experience.
