Try Calligraphy at a Beloved Local School in Kanazawa ( Near Ninja Temple )
Just ink, washi, and your hands. But the moment the brush touches the paper— you’ll feel it. A new side of Japan opens up.
Our 100-year-old townhouse offers an authentic calligraphy experience.
From basic brush strokes to your own final piece,
a local calligraphy master will guide you step by step with care.
Please note:
On Thursdays and Saturdays after 3:00 PM,
our local calligraphy class is in session, so you may occasionally see Japanese children nearby.
This experience uses materials that contain animal-derived components.
