Itinerary
Experience the ancient art of Japanese calligraphy.

Able to take your creations home with you afterwards, you'll enjoy a relaxed, beginner-friendly atmosphere under the guidance of an experienced local instructor*. *Please note that although a Japanese national and highly experienced, the instructor is not a professional calligrapher.
