巨匠と東京日本語書道体験

My experience with the calligraphy master, 栄鶴先生 Eikaku Sensei, was exceptional. He is a true artist. Humble, kind, patient and immensely skilled. Having never tried Japanese calligraphy before, through his guidance I was able to produce a keepsake to be proud of. Throughly recommended. ありがとうございます 栄鶴先生。

Rie took us around Shaduku for a day . She was a delight and helped us tremendously with getting around the city and train system. She was so patient and sensitive to whatever we were interested in doing. she also helped us with some of our trip planning which was such a bonus as this was our first time in Japan. We HIGHLY recommend her!

An artistic director encounter with a creative calligrapher. Our guide helped us to the studio where we enjoyed a full 90 minutes of instruction and practice. It was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. We highly recommend it and we highly recommend our guide Rie.

We had a lovely time learning from a calligraphy master. He was kind and gave great instructions to help us with our own creations.

The calligraphy class I took with Mr. Matsumura was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan! Mr. Mats (as he instructed me to call him), was a great teacher. He gave lots of examples of how to (and how not to) write. He was also very patient and encouraging. I would highly recommend this class!

My son and I had an amazing experience with the calligraphy sensei! He was so patient and gave us great explanations and helpful tips, making the lesson both wonderful and deeply meaningful. We truly felt immersed in Japanese culture. He kindly welcomed us into his atelier, and we could really feel the artistic atmosphere of the place.

It was a wonderfully inspiring experience by a true calligraphy artist. Authentic and special. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this art form.

Very great English speaking support. Good explanations. Good support from the master and repeated verbal motivation. Very pleasant atmosphere. We all had a lot of fun.

Our experience with both Eikaku and Miho was extraordinary. Miho translated and helped to make us comfortable throughout our time of visiting Eikaku Matsumura. Eikaku's talent and artistic abilities were amazing. He helped us to learn a few important Kanji brush strokes. It was so interesting to work with him. I especially enjoyed looking around his studio at his displayed works and through published books with pictures of him and his students and their works. Spending time with Eikaku will remain a favorite experience for me.

We had the incredible opportunity to participate in a Japanese calligraphy session in Tokyo, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and guided through the process with care and enthusiasm. The teacher explained the basics of the art form in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, which immediately captured our interest. We had the chance to try it ourselves, following the step-by-step guidance provided. What stood out to us was the teacher’s patience and encouragement. Every stroke we made was met with constructive and positive feedback, which boosted our confidence and made the learning process both enjoyable and rewarding. By the end of the session, we had not only learned the foundational techniques but also created our own calligraphy pieces, which we were proud of! This experience gave us a newfound appreciation for the beauty, mindfulness, and creativity involved in Japanese calligraphy. We highly recommend this session to anyone visiting Tokyo. It’s a wonderful way to connect with Japanese culture, explore creativity as a group, and leave with meaningful memories and art to treasure! 🌸✨
