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

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.

It was a unique experience. I was fun and calming (really). The staff was very good and welcoming. It’s worth to give this experience a try when you visit Tokyo.

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!
