Amazing! Highlight of my trip, and best souvenir ever. - This was a real highlight of our trip! Mei was a fantastic instructor, so patient and hands on, and informative not just of the practice, but what it signifies as a mindfulness practice and as art. Would 100% recommend to solos, couples, friends and even families as an experience and keepsake to treasure.

A lovely couple of hours in asakusa - I enjoyed this workshop with Mei very much. I learned a lot about calligraphy and got to practice my own. Mei is very knowledgeable and passionate about her art. If you are looking for an authentic introduction to Japanese culture, this is it.

Appreciate brush calligraphy even more now - Had a wonderful hands-on brush calligraphy session. Mei - our instructor, is a master of her craft with a boatload of knowledge and lucky for us is good teacher. It’s a small group session with bulk of the time devoted to learning and practicing your strokes and Mei was kind, patient and helpful, spending time with each of us. There is also the whole philosophical underlayer in calligraphy which was interesting to discuss. If you want to slow down Tokyo’s crazy pace and spend a couple of hours practicing art and learning something new, can highly recommend.

Exciting caligraphy workshop - Amazing experience! Would definitely recommend for people who want to learn more about Japanese culture and escape busy Tokyo life for 1,5 hours. Mei was a very good and patient teacher - she was kind and provided a lot of explanation. It showed that she is very experienced in calligraphy. The course was fun to take: we first practised the basic pencil strokes and afterwards chose a Japanese sign to draw. At the end, we could draw the chosen sign on a scroll to take home.
