Such a great experience! Eiko is so kind that she makes learning calligraphy a joy. We came away with a much greater appreciation for the beauty of calligraphy.

Fun way to learn an ancient art

We had a wonderful time learning how to write kanji characters. Our teacher was very friendly, helpful, encouraging, and enthusiastic! Instructions were clear and simple, and all our questions were answered quickly. She took pictures of us while we practiced. We were able to practice many times before writing on our final framed board. Super fun and a great souvenir to take home!
