Quioto: experiência de caligrafia 【Centro de cultura OKADA Japão】

¡Guau! Esta fue la experiencia más maravillosa. Fue una experiencia muy tradicional y auténticamente japonesa. Exactamente lo que queríamos. Fue relajante y también informativa. Tuvimos numerosas prácticas antes de aplicar lo que habíamos aprendido a nuestras piezas finales. Ambos anfitriones fueron muy amables y cálidos, estamos muy agradecidos por nuestra experiencia de caligrafía japonesa. ¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

Our Kyoto calligraphy experience was fantastic! The ladies at the Okada Japan culture center did an outstanding job of instructing us in the history of the Japanese written language during a short introduction to Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. Then we learned how the ancient Japanese made ink and tried our hands at it. Then on to our actual instruction in writing with brush and ink. What fun!! We each then chose a character we thought represented us and began practicing it. The two instructors talked us through it and actually helped with the early brush strokes so we could better learn the technique. The instructors made it a LOT of fun!! A thoroughly rewarding and fun experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone even thinking about it! We did a lot in Kyoto, and this was truly the highlight! instructor: very friendly and knowledgeable experience: outstanding

¡Lo recomiendo encarecidamente! El edificio es precioso y aprendimos mucho. Muy divertido e interactivo.

The instructors were very attentive, it was a very soothing moment, and we were able to practice our calligraphy and see our progress!!! My 8-year-old daughter loved it and wasn't bothered by the English instruction!

We had an amazing time today! It's a fantastic cultural experience without feeling touristy - it happened to be only me and my wife in the class! The senseis were very knowledgeable with fantastic English, and you get a piece of art to take home!

We had an amazing time at Kyoto calligraphy experience. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the writing style, being taught the traditional ways of calligraphy and having 1 on 1 help to write our choice of Kanji. The room and environment was also so inviting and calming. We'd highly recommend 🙂

¡Absolutamente vale la pena experimentarlo! Gracias al apoyo cálido y paciente de los instructores, pasé un tiempo increíblemente gratificante. La sesión de unos 70 minutos comienza con una explicación del significado y los orígenes de los kanji, seguida de la elección de un carácter para escribir y la práctica de los trazos del pincel. Hay mucho tiempo para practicar, ¡así que la satisfacción general es muy alta! Puede ser un desafío, pero eso lo hace aún más agradable. Al final, puedes llevarte tu obra montada en un tablero como un hermoso recuerdo. Los instructores siempre están a tu lado, ofreciéndote consejos útiles sobre cómo escribir con más belleza. ¡Me encantaría volver a participar!

The experience was very fun and interesting. They taught us the history and the stroke-by-stroke pattern. They said the way I handled my brush was very cute :)

I had such an amazing time! The instructor was incredibly kind and patient, and explained everything step by step, so even as a complete beginner I could create something beautiful. Writing with a traditional brush and ink felt so special it really made me feel connected to Japanese culture. The studio was peaceful and full of charm, and I even got to take my calligraphy home as a unique souvenir. If you’re in Kyoto and want to try something truly authentic, this is an unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss!

Had a great time during this workshop. A small, very interesting part on the history of calligraphy. The staff is welcoming and attentive. It was a private lesson, so it felt very special. I enjoyed this introduction so much that I bought myself a shodo kit. Thank you very much, and best wishes to the team! ☀️
