Private Calligraphy Experience in Nagoya

Experience Shodo, the traditional Japanese art of calligraphy, in Nagoya. Enjoy a unique and private session with a professional calligrapher in a serene setting.

We provide everything you need for your calligraphy experience, including brushes, paper, and inkstones.

The venue is a building constructed by Miyadaiku, traditional Japanese carpenters. It is also used as a classroom for teaching traditional Japanese culture, mainly focusing on the koto, a traditional Japanese musical instrument.

Your experience will take place in a traditional Japanese classroom, where you can enjoy the tranquility of wabi-sabi aesthetics and a meditative atmosphere, making it a truly immersive and peaceful experience.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the beauty of Shodo, one of Japan’s most cherished art forms.
