      Calligraphy Workshop

      Julie_W, Mar 2026
      Fumi was an excellent teacher very kind and helpful I really enjoyed this experience. A lovely memory of my holiday.

      This class was great!...

      This class was great! Fumi was really patient with me as I have never done anything like this before. She wants you to be successful with this and have a great experience. She teaches a little bit about the history of calligraphy and guides you every step of the way. I have a Japanese middle name and she showed me how to sign my scroll with the kanji for it. I would definitely recommend!

      We enjoyed a great time...

      Do you want to be taught by an experienced Artist and learn the proper way to write Kanji? Then this experience is the right thing for you! You will learn how to hold the brush and that your posture has great importance while writing Kanji. You will be heartwarmingly welcomed and patiently taught. I chose the Kanji for Happiness 幸福 I highly recommend booking this extraordinary experience! Thank you, it was very fun! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
