I am Japanese, and as a fellow Japanese citizen, I am proud of Mei-sensei. She has not only taught us how to use brushes and ink, but has also shown us the significance and beauty of Japan’s ancient culture and traditions. I hope you too, will experience this special moment of Zen. Mei-sensei, I’m sure we’ll meet again someday.
We had a great experience with calligraphy, together with our excellent instructor Kiyo. She was both very knowledgeable and motivational. She encouraged us when we tried to master the art ourselves, especially when we kept failing. Both our teenages, aged 14 and 18, were also very happy with the experience.
It was a very fun expirience and our instructur (Kiyo) was a so fun to be with! Thank you!
I took this calligraphy class with my family and it was incredible!! Our instructor, Mei, was so supportive, patient, and clear in her teaching. It was very interesting to practice calligraphy, as well as learn about the history of it. It was such a calm experience that it was like meditating; so peaceful! I would totally recommend to everyone it was a 10/10
So fun and relaxing definitely worth my time. One of a kind experience. Our instructor was amazing and very helpful.
Mei was very kind and funny. She explained many things about the history of caligraphy. Mei was very helpful in showing us how to write and what position we need to be in.
Very good experience, flawless welcome
We had such a fantastic time! It was very hands on and informative experience. Kiyo’s guidance and expertise helped each of us to write a beautiful and meaningful calligraphy that we will cherish for years to come.
