For calligraphy, you choose your favorite words, characters, or the name of a place that you remember from your travels, and choose your favorite characters, words, and font from several samples. While looking at the sample, the customer writes with a brush. Even beginners can learn to use a brush with a little practice. Seal carving uses a special rubber stamp. It is safe and easy to create. The design is basically your name, but you can choose any shape or object. You can use the seal as a seal for your work in your daily life, on your art work, or on your letters. The calligrapher will help you with how to use it and the design, so you can participate with peace of mind. If necessary, we will give you a simple lecture in Japanese to help you deepen your understanding of characters and words. Enjoy a time of meditation surrounded by the scent of ink and a time to calm your mind and create art. <Optional options/charges apply> ● Hanging scroll and frame for displaying your work ● Apron (Japanese-style apron) to protect your clothes from ink ● Create a souvenir just for you A calligrapher will create an art work according to your request. <Supported languages> A translator will be used.
