What To Expect
Begin your journey by crafting your own ink from scratch. You'll grind an ink stick made from a unique blend of soot, glue, and aromatic fragrances on a traditional "suzuri" stone, slowly releasing the deep, rich ink used in calligraphy.
Then, with a brush dipped in your freshly made ink, you'll glide over the delicate surface of washi, traditional Japanese paper. Feel the brush's dance as you form each character, guided by the expertise of a master calligrapher. Their skilled hands and insightful instructions will help you unlock the secrets of this revered art form.
Your artistic exploration continues as you transfer your skills to a "Uchiwa," a classic Japanese fan. Here, your calligraphy will come to life in a new form, creating a personalized and unique piece of art you can cherish forever.
Conclude this exquisite experience by relaxing with a cup of tea and sweet treats, served in elegant Japanese pottery. This serene moment offers a chance to admire your creations and those of your fellow participants, celebrating the beauty of Japanese art and the shared joy of creation.
