Amazing Cultural Experience - This is an amazing cultural and educational experience and I highly recommend it! Of course, the two host are SO kind, friendly, wonderful, inviting and helpful in teaching us history and technique of kanji. Also, they were very gracious when we arrived so late! 😩 They were so patient with us to practice many times and made sure we understood how to do the different ways to write. The workshop moved at a really good pace and it was very enjoyable! I would definitely do it again!

Calligraphy is a skill! - The skill of calligraphy is truly awe-inspiring. You would never know until you tried how truly skillful you need to be to be able to do calligraphy. I can see why it takes years of practice. Sensei and Steven worked together well and learning about the history of calligraphy and what it means was pretty cool. They are very patient with you as you go. We even requested to write our own kanji instead of our names and they obliged. Really fun class and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this lovely skill.

Great calligraphy workshop in Osaka - Great workshop. We both enjoyed this very much. Background provided on Japanese culture and meaning behind some of the kanji. Then we practiced and finally wrote our names. Highly recommended.

Awesome - would recommend! - My partner and I had a great time in this workshop. We learned some fascinating information about japanese calligraphy and how Kanji works. The instructors were phenomenal, extremely patient, and broke the process of complex shapes down into manageable steps for two complete newbies, both in english and japanese. The instructors also took lots of pictures for us so we could just focus on learning the presented skills. They presented beautiful and thoughtful interpretations of our names in Kanji, that we then got to transpose onto artboards to take as souvenirs. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is curious about calligraphy or kanji, regardless of artistic skill level. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

A great way to spend two hours learning to write basic Japanese Kenji - This was a superb activity and highly recommended for those that love calligraphy and wanting to understand more about this ancient art form. Our sensei was very patient and knowledgeable - great organisation thanks to Stefan - an excellent experience.
