Full Description

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Japanese culture with a 1-hour calligraphy workshop in Ikaruga, Nara. Learn how to write your name in kanji using a brush pen, guided by a local expert.

Start by meeting your instructor near Horyuji Temple, one of Japan’s most historic sites. Begin with a brief explanation of the history of Japanese calligraphy and its cultural importance, then receive instruction on writing with a brush pen.

You’ll practice writing your name in the expressive “onore-sho” style, a form of calligraphy that reflects personal creativity and individuality. Unlike traditional calligraphy, this technique allows more freedom in artistic expression.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll have your beautifully written kanji name to take home—a unique keepsake of your time in Japan.
