Calligraphy Shodo in a Small House in Nagoya

The class is around 2 hours. So it’s wise to plan ahead. Kano San has a clean and tidy studio room to practice and can accommodate several people. I went alone and had one on one time to enjoy myself with the craft. It was a good time and money well spent. Kano San is extremely nice and helpful, she routinely gives you tips to improve without sounding condescending or mean. She has a great passion for Shodo and that passion translates in to a genuine desire to share it with everyone. Both Japanese and non Japanese alike. If you have a love of Japanese culture, traditional Japanese culture where the pure aestheticism of their people shines, don’t miss this opportunity to take a shodo class with Kano San.

I really spend a great time doing calligraphy, with a really good material ✨️ You have some time to practice and have good advice and explanations to have a splendid final result ☺️ I also do a cooking class here. We make Miso soup and Onigiri. Here again, the explanation was really good, and she take into account if you can't eat something, or don't like something so everyone can make something they can eat! And It was sooo good ☺️ It's okay if you can't speak Japanese, English is okay!

Here you can experience calligraphy, a traditional Japanese culture, in earnest. Through the Japanese calligraphy experience, I was taught the spirit and culture of calligraphy in detail. The owner's teacher is very kind and enthusiastic, and he carefully explained each tool necessary for calligraphy and taught how to use it, so even if you have no knowledge, it's no problem. The classroom is also very clean and has a traditional Japanese design. When the teacher said at the beginning of the lesson, "Let's compare how much you have improved from the beginning to the end," I wondered if I could change in this moment, but I was surprised when it was over. I think I was able to write Japanese kanji quite well. The teacher also taught me that self-talk is important in calligraphy, and that calligraphy has the effect of connecting the mind and body, just like yoga and meditation. I didn't expect to be able to learn calligraphy so deeply in a two and a half hour experience. It was a great experience. If you come to Japan, I think it's well worth going.
