Japanese calligraphy is an artistic form of writing with a brush and ink to express your mind.
As a traditional visual art, people look at the calligraphy and appreciate the beauty and impressions of characters and their meanings.
Unlike paintings or other writings, you have only one chance to write with a brush. The brush strokes cannot be corrected or even rewritten.
Usually, you need to sit straight on the floor and focus on calligraphy,
but in this plan we provide tables and chairs for overseas visitors as they may find it difficult to sit on the floor.
Our school is located in central Hiroshima and easy to access, come stop by on your visit to this area if time permits between your sightseeing programs.
As a memory of your Hiroshima trip, join our special Japanese calligraphy experience offered by a professional instructor.
※English speaking guide is available.
※ Gift brush and plain folding fan included.
You can take home the brush used in the experience and the folding fan used for the clean copy as a souvenir. The work will be an important original calligraphy that shows the individuality of each participant. New brushes and folding fans prepared by the instructor will be used. With an English interpreter, you can deepen your understanding of calligraphy.
Folding fans made of bamboo and Japanese paper are now used as a tool for learning arts and as a tool for dressing up in Japanese clothing. However, in the olden days, waka poems and short letters were written on folding fans and sent to others. A folding fan with your own calligraphy will make a wonderful souvenir of your trip to Japan.
The instructor, Yosui Sugioka, is one of the top five calligraphers living in Hiroshima. Choose the kanji you want to write and practice while looking at the model. The instructor will teach you how to use the brush, so don't worry even if you are a beginner.
