Experience calligraphy at a long-established folk craft store surrounded by ukiyo-e prints, and experience Japanese culture, art, and spirituality
Calligraphy is an art form and a symbol of Japanese culture, while also serving as a form of meditation to calm the mind.
In this experience, a professional calligrapher will provide thorough instruction in an easy-to-understand manner, even for beginners.
The event will take place at Bonkogei Takumi, a long-established folk craft store founded 50 years ago.
Surrounded by ukiyo-e prints, this quiet, highly artistic space will allow you to experience traditional Japanese culture up close.
Using handmade brushes made in Kumano, Hiroshima Prefecture, the number one brush-making town in Japan, you will learn basic brush techniques and try your hand at writing hiragana and kanji.
Your finished work will be printed on a fan or colored paper, which you can take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir of Japanese culture.
Recommended for those new to calligraphy or those interested in Japanese culture.
All tools are provided, so you can participate empty-handed.
