• During this 90-minute workshop, you will first learn about the history and meaning of Japanese seals as personal signatures. We will then carefully suggest meaningful kanji characters for your name and create your own unique Japanese name. You will then write the selected kanji yourself, which will then be digitally scanned and used to create your seal using a professional engraving machine. While your seal is being carved, you will also have the opportunity to experience hand-carving with an actual carving knife, giving you a glimpse into Kyoto's traditional seal-making techniques. Once your seal is complete, you will then stamp it for the first time, a special moment that will mark it as your official Japanese signature. You will then take your completed seal home in a beautiful paulownia wood box. Finally, you will celebrate with bancha tea and dorayaki (sweet red bean buns), a moment of quintessential Kyoto hospitality. This experience is guided directly by a Kyoto seal artisan and limited to a small group. Enjoy a tranquil, authentic, and memorable Japanese cultural experience.
