Overview

A valuable experience of Japan's spiritual culture! Calligraphy is one of the traditional "ways" that have been passed down since ancient times.
Focusing only on writing kanji on white paper will clear your mind and bring you relaxation.
In this experience, you can also learn how to use authentic tools and the correct way to write kanji from a professional instructor. At the end, you will be able to write kanji on a beautiful hanging scroll and take it home with you.

What's included

  • Hanging scroll
  • Traditional tools for calligraphy

What to expect

Experienced Japanese instructors will teach calligraphy techniques in English.
You can experience it sitting on a chair, so you don't have to worry about sitting straight!

First, your instructor will give you a lecture on the background of calligraphy. Then, you will learn how to use traditional tools.

If you're new to calligraphy, there's nothing to worry about. Choose your favorite kanji from the samples prepared by the instructor and try to imitate it.
You will gradually notice your spirit becoming more unified.

Finally, you will write the kanji on a beautiful hanging scroll. Then write your name on it and stamp it to finish.
Please take this hanging scroll home with you as a memory of Japan.
