Description
Experience the traditional Japanese art of calligraphy in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with guidance from a professional calligraphy instructor. This workshop offers a uniquely Japanese form of mindfulness, allowing you to relax, focus, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of brush and ink. It is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, including children and beginners.
The experience begins with changing into traditional Japanese workwear before starting the workshop. You will grind a solid inkstick to create authentic ink, taking a moment to slow down and connect with the art of calligraphy. Then, practice basic brush techniques and learn how to create beautiful Japanese characters with guidance from your instructor.
Finally, you will transform your name into Kanji and create your own original calligraphy artwork to take home as a memorable souvenir from Japan.
As an optional activity, you can turn your favorite calligraphy into a beautiful Japanese scroll, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake to display at home.
Our Shinjuku studio also offers other traditional Japanese cultural experiences, including chopstick making and Kintsugi. You can also browse a variety of Japanese souvenirs and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of our studio in the heart of Shinjuku.
Whether you're completely new to calligraphy or simply looking for a creative way to experience Japanese culture, this workshop offers a relaxing and personal memory of your time in Tokyo.
