Description

12 years of experience in Japanese calligraphy, qualified as a calligraphy instructor. Come and get an opportunity to enjoy Kanji drawing with me! You can experience Japanese culture by learning and drawing a Kanji on a T-shirt. Each kanji has a meaning that you are welcome to study. We offer the possibility of choosing between a single class drawing Japanese on t-shirt, or to choose the drawing kanji on a lantern, or, on the Japanese traditional umbrellas, all are very attractive and fun experience for everyone. I offer something that is a unique experience. I am an English teacher for the Japanese people, so you will get all the instructions in English. For a group of more than 4, please let us know so we can arrange a room for a larger group of people, or we can set a private session with the time that it is convenient to you. We can host a larger group of people up to 15, so please let us know by a direct message.

Out of all the activities...

Out of all the activities my partner and I did on our trip, this one felt the most personable and fun! Truthfully I wasn’t the best at handwriting Kanji 😅 but our instructor didn’t belittle us for it. She even gave us snacks and her own additional handmade art work as presents! If you have time in your itinerary, definitely try to fit this in!

unhappy

the map location on tripadvisior was wrong and then the guy told us it was all our fault. When its tripadvisior and there dodgy maps.

Operator response

I'm very sorry that you were unable to use the map on the page that was the same for everyone since we opened. I have asked you to reschedule the class but you refused absolutely... It was not a right behavior when we were trying to satisfy you.

A great way to spend an hour in the shadow of the Skytree Tokyo

A great way to spend an hour learning and creating a piece using Japanese calligraphy. Our host was charming, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this experience to everyone. The location is also excellent.

Could have been more

Yoko was very nice and accommodating. It was a pleasure to learn more about her. I wish that there had been more of a focus on instruction...I was hoping to learn a little about technique, but it was actually just a tracing activity.

Operator response

Hello Heather, to me was good to have you here, and i am sorry that it wasn't what you might expected. This is a fun activity of writing the Japanese Kanji on a t-shirt or a lantern, it is not a calligraphy lesson in particular, which supposedly to teach you the Japanese characters. This a fun activity for 1 hour. Anyway i was glad to show you a bit of a larger, much larger work, of a Japanese art.

We enjoyed our time with...

We enjoyed our time with the calligraphy teacher, who was very patient and accommodating of our group. We had plenty of options for writing Japanese characters (including a custom request) and had clear instructions in English on the steps we were to take. Everyone in our group had a great time and walked away with a little personalized piece of Japan!
