Tokyo: Calligraphy Workshop & Original T-Shirt Creation

So Great We Went Twice

Our family of five had the most intimate and special time during our Calligraphy workshop. From the warm greeting by the hosts Yuuka, Noriko, Anon, and Nono; to the brand new studio location and workshop setup, we felt like VIPs during our first trip to Tokyo. There is a ton of thoughtfulness and...

A rewarding and memorable experience

We had the pleasure of attending a Japanese calligraphy workshop, with Sayuri as teacher, and Airi as guide. We were able to learn more about some kanjis, their meanings and their writing. It was very interesting! We then moved on to the practical phase. You had to rub a block of black ink agains...

An unforgettable experience

An amazing and unforgettable experience! Maho is such a talented calligrapher, and what a patient, inspiring, and supportive teacher. I loved all of it, from the history lessons on Kanji, to grinding our own ink on the ink stone, to the actual writing of the characters. A welcome and calming brea...

Shodo in Tokyo

Calling it a workshop is simplistic: it was pure mindfulness. We started by rubbing the solid ink, with that slow and rhythmic gesture that prepares the mind, just like the great masters.

Don't miss out on this!

I would absolutely do this again, the writing is difficult but the time spent practici...

Amazing experience with Ai!

My friends and I had an amazing experience! Prior to the class, the company was very communicative and accommodating. Our guide, Ai, was very patient, kind, and informative. The class was relaxing and didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommend!

Such an informative class!

I booked this class for a different pace after running around the streets of Tokyo and had such a lovely time. We were met by Ai who was so patient, then she took us to our class with Sousen. Set up like a classroom while dressed in traditional clothing, I felt very immersed and Sousen was so kno...

Calligraphy Lesson in Shinjuku

Participated in a calligraphy lesson with Alice and had a great time! I learned a lot about Kanji, got to make ink with an ink stone, and got to practice several different characters including names. Highly recommend for anyone!

Writing artistry - Awesome experience!

My 12 year old son and I had a great experience with Sosen, the calligrapher, and Airi, our English-speaking guide. We learned so much about Japanese katakana sounds and selected meanings to write our own names onto paper, then t-shirts as a keepsake, which was an added bonus. Highly recommended!...
