【DETAILS】

Here, while receiving direct guidance from a professional lecturer, you can experience writing your favorite kanji character chosen by yourself using Japanese traditional ink and a brush. You will be taught by a Japanese calligraphy artist who mastered both traditional Chinese calligraphy and contemporary・practical Japanese calligraphy. You can learn authentic calligraphy by using brushes that anyone can use. At the beginning at the lesson, in addition to learning to use a brush, you can learn the meaning and history of your chosen kanji.
