Unique and beautiful experience! - Ryusho is so talented and such an amazing teacher! I booked this class for my husband and I to do while in Osaka because when I was in elementary school, my school brought in a Japanese calligraphy artist to teach in my art class :) My husband said this was his favorite activity of all that we did while on our 2.5 week honeymoon across Japan!! Thank you Ryusho for creating this lifelong memory for us, your patience and for helping us perfect our art!!

Lucila.pr@hotmail.com - Ryu welcomed me very warmly. With great patience, he explained to all of us the details of his art, his technique, and the origins of the calligraphy he practices. It was a truly enriching and thoughtfully curated experience. I highly recommend the class and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from an artist as talented as he is.

Great experience - difficult art form - Our instructor was so pleasant and patient. It is a difficult art form but he made it fun and was genuinely excited for our work. Great family fun that was different than the normal experiences around here.
