    Itinerary

    Experience the ancient art of Japanese calligraphy. In this class, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to form stylish Japanese characters related to the local area, including the words for ‘hot spring’ and ‘hell’ - using only traditional paint brushes and paper. 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. If you would like to learn from a professional calligrapher, please refer to the alternative calligraphy class we offer: 'Experience an Authentic Art Form with a Professional Calligrapher', for more details.
