Japanese Calligraphy Experience in Tokyo

Discover the art of Japanese calligraphy in Tokyo's Asakusa area with our enjoyable experience. You'll get to pick a character from Japanese scripts like Kanji, Hiragana, or Katakana and learn how to write it using traditional tools: a brush, ink, and washi paper. Our friendly instructors will guide you through the process, helping you select the character that resonates with you the most and showing you the basics of this beautiful art form.

This workshop is a perfect opportunity to dive into Japanese culture and leave with a unique memento. It's a light-hearted, introductory session where you'll practice writing on either a colorful or a half-sized piece of paper. Whether you're an art enthusiast or just looking for a fun cultural experience, you'll enjoy expressing yourself through the strokes of Japanese calligraphy and take home a personal souvenir from your Tokyo visit.
