Meeting and pickup

Begin with Japanese calligraphy in your own clothes. Practice basic kaisho strokes, choose a kanji, learn its meaning, and express it on an art board. Your finished piece is presented in a foldable hanging-scroll style case.
Next, change into a formal kimono and experience a traditional tea ceremony. Learn the meaning behind the room’s decorations, watch the graceful procedures, then whisk your own bowl of matcha and enjoy it with a seasonal sweet.
