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.
