If you want to refresh your spirit with a Japanese calligraphy experience, this is the place to be!
Calligraphy instructor Michiko Sensei will joyfully teach you the fundamentals of calligraphy.
You have the freedom to choose the characters you'd like to write, receive guidance on kanji you wish to practice, or even try writing your name in kanji. The school provides the necessary tools for the lesson, including an inkstone, ink, brushes, and other materials.
This experience takes place in a traditional Japanese tatami room, allowing you to not only learn calligraphy but also immerse yourself in Japanese architectural culture.

Michiko Sensei embarked on her calligraphy journey after graduating from college. Over time, her passion for calligraphy deepened, and at the age of 25, she obtained the title of master calligrapher. After taking a break from calligraphy for a while, she was inspired to start her calligraphy classes last year following her retirement from the corporate world.

Comment from the teacher
calligraphy practice covers a wide range of kanji, from complex to simple, each with its own meaning. Writing your favorite word in calligraphy can be a calming and relaxing experience.
Hope you find words that deeply touch your heart!
