Exclusive Japanese Calligraphy Immersion in English

– Finding Serenity Through Shodo-

Embark on an exclusive journey into the heart of Japanese Zen culture with a personalized Shodo Atelier experience within the serene grounds of our historic temple. More than a mere calligraphy class, this is an immersion into the art of mindful brushstrokes, where each stroke becomes a meditation, a path to inner tranquility.

Under the guidance of a master calligrapher, you will delve into the profound beauty of Shodo, using exquisite Shodo untensiles and traditional Sumi ink. Discover the intricate dance between brush, ink, and paper as you learn to create your own works of art, capturing the essence of your chosen characters.

This bespoke experience is tailored to your individual preferences, offering the opportunity to explore specific calligraphy styles and create personalized masterpieces. We will provide high end japanese tea, and sweets during your experience. To ensure you have a lasting memory of your experience, we can provide professional photography services.

Take home your completed calligraphy, a tangible reminder of your journey into the art of Zen.
