Calm experience

We had time to kill before the nearby sumo show, so came in at 1830. Our group were the only people in and we found the session calm and peaceful and almost recharging. We did the fan option, which involves practicing on paper first after being taught how to do the basic strokes. Although painting on a fan is more difficult than I imagined due to the uneven surface, so my paper efforts were better! Staff were friendly, informative and spoke English well. You get free postcards to send overseas that they will send for you. Glad we took this break in our day.

Fantastic experience

Perfect experience. Included a short presentation about the history of kanji Lesson on how to create the ink, hold the brush, and do different strokes Plenty of practice sheets to try different kanji before writing onto a fan I wanted to write my family name in kanji and sensei Mana wrote out the kanji with all the different stroke order, so I could learn it! Fantastic, thank you

Patient, fun, learnt

Our instructor was very patient in teaching us the art of calligraphy, he offered us green tea which was sweet. He also wrote down our names in Japanese and told us the meaning. I overly enjoyed this experience and my fan didn't turn out half bad id say! As well as this we learnt the history about kanji and the written languages of Japan.

A must-go for a souvenier from Japan!

A must-go for a souvenier from Japan! They are very nice and knowledgeable here. The workers will guide you through the history of Kanji, and help you learn and practice so you can write your own! Then, you can create a T-shirt with your own design. It's a very easy process and a very fun experience!
