Aula de Caligrafia Japonesa em Ninenzaka (Quioto)

instructeur/instructrice: les deux instructeurs prennent le temps pour nous expliquer comment faire et pour chaque gestes, ils nous aident la première fois en nous guidant avec le pinceau. super expérience demandant un peu de dextérité un beaucoup d attention

Niko and Mana were wonderful. They gave us an incredible lesson in the art of Japanese calligraphy, and it was one of the best experiences we had in Kyoto. Their activities are highly recommended, as they reflect a beautiful part of the spirit of Japan. Thank you for this lovely teaching.

At the last minute of an already pleasant day, my 11 and 13-year-old sons and I decided to book this course, and we are very happy we did. They welcomed us in traditional attire with big smiles and greetings. After explaining the tools useful for the course (brush, paper…), we chose the concept to copy and started with the practice. The help, explanations, and advice were always appreciated, and after practicing, you replicate the chosen concept on the final sheet. Everything you produce, you can take home. Highly recommended experience; I am Italian and don't speak English, but I had a lot of fun. Recommended experience.

¡Absolutamente vale la pena ir! Una experiencia maravillosa con profesores pacientes y alentadores. La sesión duró una hora, comenzando con una explicación de los Kanji. Puedes elegir qué palabra pintar en la hoja y practicar los trazos. ¡Es difícil pero divertido! Al final, tu práctica se presenta en un tablero o abanico. Lo recomendaría absolutamente. Los profesores estuvieron allí en cada paso del camino y animaron a practicar mejor. Volvería a hacerlo.

Small group calligraphy class with super welcoming hosts, with the option to wear a Yukata if you wish. We really enjoyed the moment.

A brilliant experience! Thanks! The cosy venue is in the beautiful Gion district and was perfect for a small-group experience - two families of 4 when we were there. Our kids are 12 and 16. The instructors spent lots of time with each of us taking us through some basic strokes before we were each taught strokes specific to the kanji that we wanted to draw. There was plenty of time to really get immersed in it. As with all the arts we experienced whilst in Japan, it felt very authentic and respectful. I’d highly recommend a visit. It was great fun.

I really enjoyed this workshop; both hosts took their time to teach us the proper techniques and let us practice before making something we could take home and display. It's one of my favorite souvenirs from our trip!

Amazing experience considering it wasn't top of my wish list. Great tuition, small group so almost one to one help. Thought it wouldn't be too challenging but it was, and because of that most enjoyable. Would definitely do it again.

¡Qué experiencia tan maravillosa! Vinimos con nuestras dos hijas, de 11 y 7 años, ¡y lo disfrutaron muchísimo! Ambos trabajos quedaron maravillosos al final, ¡gracias a la cuidadosa atención al detalle de los profesores! ¡Altamente recomendado!

The experience was legendary; the hospitality, knowledge, and practice were magnificent. We learned a lot about the concept and history of Japanese calligraphy.
