What to expect

Japanese calligraphy requires patience and a good teacher — both of which you’ll find at this casual meetup. Take this opportunity to brush up on your penmanship in traditional ink and practice kanji characters while learning their cultural significance. At the end, you can take home your piece.

All tools and materials are provided and all calligraphy levels are welcome. English support is available.
