Try your hand at shakyō, Buddhist sutra copying, in a friendly, welcoming environment.
What to expect
The ancient tradition of copying out Buddhist sutras or scriptures is a calming and mindful experience. At this event, you can practice your own handiwork — beginner or expert — while finding a moment of stillness. Explore this peaceful part of Japanese culture with explanations from English-speaking staff.
All tools and materials will be provided, including brush pens.
