What to expect

This is a calligraphy experience class where you can experience the history and culture of calligraphy. In the first half of the activity, we will have a calligraphy class and a history of calligraphy.

In the second half, Madara, the only calligrapher in Japan who practices the art of calligraphy, which brings happiness, will convert your name into kanji and create a scroll with calligraphy. In addition, since Madara is also a colorful Japanese ink painter, this workshop will create a one-of-a-kind tote bag, T-shirt, or hand towel with a design that combines MADARA's painting with your kanji name.
