5.00Shaun and Sensai delivered a perfect workshop for our family. Time flew by- we couldn’t believe how fast 2 hours disappeared.. They gave us a lovely introduction to the meaning of calligraphy to Japanese culture before we got hands on with writing kanji and preparing our names on a board to take home!
Calligraphy at it’s best!!!

5.00This was a great workshop experience, it was really interesting to learn about the meaning behind Japanese calligraphy as well as the techniques and then being able to try some writing. It was very friendly and relaxing, and a lovely way to end my trip to Japan. I really appreciated Stephen's help and advice to make sure I could attend and would be able to catch the aiprort train. Would definitely recommend if you would like to know more about Japanese culture and a chance to be hands on trying it out.
