What to expect

Set in a 150-year-old Kyoto machiya away from the crowds, you will be guided step by step by a professional instructor.

You will experience the meditative process of grinding your own ink, focusing on your breathing, and clearing your mind. You will learn the fundamental brush strokes and the profound meanings behind Japanese Kanji characters. Finally, you will express your inner self by writing your favorite character on a traditional canvas to take home.

After the calligraphy session, you will enjoy a guided tour of the historic machiya to learn about its architecture and Kyoto's traditional lifestyle. The experience concludes with a relaxing time to enjoy authentic Japanese tea and seasonal sweets, with plenty of time for taking photos to capture your memories.
