Near Kanazawa's Ninja Temple: Mindful Calligraphy Art Class｜Japan

We have had the pleasure of introducing Japanese calligraphy to people from around the world.
In addition to teaching brush techniques and tools, we share the stories and meanings behind Japanese characters.

The Japanese language uses three scripts: Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana.
Kanji are ideographic characters, each carrying deep meaning.
Hiragana and Katakana are phonetic scripts with beautifully flowing forms.

Each reflects the spirit and aesthetics of Japanese culture.
Why not pick up a brush and experience this 2,000-year tradition for yourself?
