Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Japanese calligraphy is a form of artistic writing dating back to the 6th century. To discover the art, we'll meet at the Okeiko Japan Academy in Miyajima, located in a 300-year-old Zen temple.

Once inside the center, we'll begin the class by choosing our brush, made of bamboo cane, and dip its tip in black ink. Then we'll choose which writing system we want to use: kana or kanji. You'll find out all there is to know about the art form.

For half an hour, you'll learn to write your name with Japanese letters in a unique and calming environment. We'll finish the workshop at approximately 30 minutes later.
