Taking a class with Maki Sensei was one of the best experiences of my trip. She's an amazing teacher, so knowledgeable, patient, and generous with feedback. Her guidance was always constructive, and she constantly cheered me on throughout the class. Having a supportive teacher who is willing to go into the details and thoughtfully answer every question made the experience incredibly valuable. I also loved the personalized calligraphy gifts and spending time chatting about Japanese culture with a local. I’ll definitely come back!
Thank you Maki-san for this amazing experience. Its with kindness and a lot of fun that we discovered japanese calligraphy!
Thank you for coming! I am incredibly happy to share this moment with you and your friends as your dream becomes a reality!! I hope this Japanese calligraphy experience will become a good memory of Japan Arigato Matane!
Maki is an extraordinary teacher. She speaks very English very well and explains all the technics very carefully. She does not mind to repite many times the same explanation and makes the clase very participative. The experience is very personal because it is in the livings room of her hause and is open to explain the japanish culture. I can only recommend it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. I am also very pleased that you enjoyed Japan's traditional culture, calligraphy. You are always very welcome, and look forward to seeing you again!!
Maki is a very nice person, very professional and an excellent teacher. We enjoyed the class very much and understood the great idea snd work of calligraphy. Highly recommended
thank you so much for choosing my lesson! I really enjoyed doing Japanese calligraphy and talking !! Hope to see you again
First, Maki-sensei met me at Yoga Station. She is a very kind and welcoming person. The lesson took place at her home, a very peaceful environment to learn. We discussed the 5 shodo styles, fude(brush) etiquette, as well as, Kanji stroke order and other detailed writing mechanics. She was very patient and encouraging during the learning process. Often pointing out areas of improvement. Never made me feel like like I was wasting paper. Just keep encouraging me. Plus, she helped with my Japanese speaking and listening during the lesson. An overall great experience with an even greater person. ありがとうございました、Maki-sensei! またこんど。
I had a wonderful time with Maki this afternoon. I leaned an awful lot about Japanese language and Japanese calligraphy. Maki was so helpful and so friendly. This was one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo. I highly recommend it.
This was the best experience ever! Maki is one of the nicest teachers I have ever met and she is also super professional! I’ve learned a lot from her!
We loved this class! Maki had everything laid out for us, drinks for us to try, and explained everything step-by-step. She is a very personable and gracious instructor, and I wish I lived closer because I definitely would take more classes with her. In the meantime, I’ll follow her on IG. Arigato, Maki!
Maki is really an awesome teacher! Not only she explained the shodo culture but also japan culture as well. Recommend 10/10!
Maki is an effortless, careful and systematic teacher. She makes Shodo look less daunting, and I could get engaged in the process in a way that it felt like I'm painting, with some key rules! Will take her session again and visit soon. Highly recommend!
