Reviews
Awesome experience! I booked a late class so I was the only participant but the instructor was very friendly and welcoming. He was very knowledgeable about the history of kanji and his instructions and tips helped me improve my techniques. They give you a decorative board to show off what you learned by writing your favorite character and it doubles as a unique souvenir.
Very unique cultural experience in Shibuya! Taku-san was very patient and helpful during our hour-long introduction to Japanese calligraphy. Highly recommended!
it was such a great experience learning about japanese calegraphy and the instructor was so friendly and helpful. This is a personalized experience I wont forget. a must have experience in Tokyo.
