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 providing you with your brush, made of bamboo cane, and dip its tip in black ink. Then we'll choose a kanji from the options we will present. You'll learn everything about this art form.

For 30 minutes, you'll learn to write your name in Japanese letters in a calming environment. You'll learn the kana calligraphy style to sign your work. The workshop will conclude approximately 30 minutes later.

Rent a Kimono

You also have the option to rent a traditional Japanese kimono while participating in the calligraphy workshop. We'll meet at the indicated time, and you'll have 30 minutes to select your outfit and prepare before the class.
