Full Description
We have had the pleasure of introducing Japanese calligraphy to many people from around the world. In addition to teaching how to write and how to use the tools, the instructor also shares fascinating stories behind Japanese characters.
The Japanese language uses three types of scripts: Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. Kanji are ideographic characters—each one is like a picture, filled with deep meaning. Hiragana and Katakana are phonetic scripts, beautifully flowing forms created by the Japanese people based on Chinese characters.
Each script reflects the spirit of Japanese culture and aesthetics. Why not pick up a brush and experience the 2,000-year history of Japanese writing through your own senses?

Reviews
Delightfully quaint family studio. A highlight of the trip to Kanazawa; part history lesson, part language study, part art class. Highly recommended.
Great experience with a very passionate teacher — learned a lot and had a great time.
The class was very fun. The instructor was great and communicated well in English. The class was informative and relaxing. It was enjoyable to try something new. The artwork came in beautiful folders/frames. The location was easy to find via Google Maps. Highly recommended.
