Activity itinerary

Master the art of calligraphy in a tranquil old-style house in Nara. Let’s create your original name card or hanging scroll. We also have decorative items such as stencil sheets. Provide careful instruction to each individual. Offer matcha latte, hand-drip coffee, and green tea as welcome drinks. Begin by learning how to rub ink sticks and grip the fude brush. Warm up by drawing circles and lines, then practice writing your chosen character 5,6 times. Once you feel confident, create your final piece and stamp your name in Japanese. Take photos of your finished work to remember the experience. After the lesson, enjoy a beautiful Japanese lunch box in the adjacent room. You can choose sushi or Japanese-style lunch box. Moreover, you can view calligraphy works which the instructor writes.
