Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Are you ready to explore the intricate world of calligraphy? Dive into the fundamentals of this art form with a Japanese Calligraphy Workshop in Miyajima, where you can also don a traditional kimono throughout the experience.

Japanese Calligraphy Workshop

Originating from the 6th century, Japanese calligraphy is a celebrated form of artistic expression. Our journey begins at the Okeiko Japan Academy in Miyajima, a serene setting within a centuries-old Zen temple.

Upon arrival, each participant will receive a bamboo brush, dipped delicately into black ink. You will select a kanji from a variety of options presented to you. As you engage in this practice, you'll uncover the techniques behind this captivating art.

Over the next half hour, you'll have the opportunity to write your name using Japanese characters, all in a peaceful and inspiring atmosphere. Master the kana calligraphy style that will allow you to elegantly sign your pieces. This session promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Your workshop will conclude after approximately 30 minutes.
