Review for: Private Japanese Calligraphy Experience
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.
