Description
A valuable experience of Japan's spiritual culture! Calligraphy is one of the traditional "ways" that have been passed down since ancient times. Focusing only on writing kanji on white paper will clear your mind and bring you relaxation. In this experience, you can also learn how to use authentic tools and the correct way to write kanji from a professional instructor. At the end, you will be able to write kanji on a beautiful hanging scroll and take it home with you.

This class was great!...
This class was great! Fumi was really patient with me as I have never done anything like this before. She wants you to be successful with this and have a great experience. She teaches a little bit about the history of calligraphy and guides you every step of the way. I have a Japanese middle name and she showed me how to sign my scroll with the kanji for it. I would definitely recommend!

Extraordinary Experience
Do you want to be taught by an experienced Artist and learn the proper way to write Kanji? Then this experience is the right thing for you! You will learn how to hold the brush and that your posture has great importance while writing Kanji. You will be heartwarmingly welcomed and patiently taught. I chose the Kanji for Happiness 幸福 I highly recommend booking this extraordinary experience! Thank you, it was very fun! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
