Kyoto: experiență de caligrafie 【Centrul cultural OKADA Japonia】

Wow! This was the most wonderful experience. It was very a traditional, authentically Japanese experience. Exactly what we wanted. It was relaxing and also informative. We had numerous practices before applying what we had learnt to our final pieces. Both hosts were so kind and warm, we are so grateful for our Japanese calligraphy experience. I would highly recommend this!

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. The 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

highly recommend! the building is so lovely and we learned a lot. so fun and interactive

Intervenantes très attentionnées, moment très appaisant, nous avons pu nous entraîner pour réaliser notre calligraphie et voir nos progrès !!! Ma fille de 8 ans a adoré et n’a pas été gênée par l’intervention en anglais !

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 🙂

Absolutely worth experiencing! Thanks to the warm and patient support of the instructors, I had an incredibly fulfilling time. About 70 minute session begins with an explanation of the meaning and origins of kanji, followed by choosing a character to write and practicing brush strokes. There’s plenty of practice time, so the overall satisfaction is very high! It can be challenging, but that makes it all the more enjoyable. At the end, you can have your work mounted on a board to take home as a beautiful keepsake. The instructors are always by your side, offering helpful tips on how to write more beautifully. I would love to join again!

The experience was cery fun and interesting. They taught us the history and the stroke by stroke pattern. They said the way I handle my brush was very Kawaii :)

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!

Très bon moment passé pendant cet atelier. Petite partie histoire de la calligraphie, très intéressante. Le personnel est accueillant et à l'écoute. Cours particulier donc privilégié. Ça m'a tellement plus comme initiation, que je me suis acheter un kit de shodo. Merci beaucoup, belle continuation à l'équipe! ☀️
