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.
