Description

Step into the world of Japanese calligraphy (Shodo) guided by a master calligrapher who holds a PhD in the art. In this 60-minute workshop in Roppongi, you’ll explore not only how to write, but also why characters were shaped this way in ancient Japan — blending art, language, and philosophy. Start with a live demonstration of traditional brush techniques, followed by an introduction to ancient scripts such as Tensho (seal script) and Reisho (clerical script). Learn how these styles evolved from Chinese origins to Japan’s unique aesthetic, and how each brushstroke expresses balance and harmony. You’ll then practice your own kanji — perhaps a word that resonates with you, such as “夢 (Dream)” or “和 (Harmony)” — before creating a final artwork on a shikishi board or fan. The instructor will explain the meaning and form of your chosen character, and correct your brushwork using traditional red ink guidance. An English-speaking assistant will accompany the class to interpret cultural and historical explanations, ensuring a smooth and engaging learning experience. You’ll finish with photo time and take home your own museum-style artwork — a piece of Japanese heritage you created yourself.
