Want to experience a deeper side of Japan? In this city where foreigners are rarely seen, this calligraphy activity, open to the public for the first time, allows you to meet a master calligrapher. ● Artist Madara's stylish and artistic "brush calligraphy" is a calligraphy experience that touches on the history and culture of calligraphy. The first half of the activity will cover the history of calligraphy and include a calligraphy class. In the second half, Madara, Japan's only brush calligrapher who practices the art of "brush calligraphy," which brings happiness, will convert your name into kanji and create a scroll with calligraphy. Furthermore, Madara is also a colorful Japanese ink wash artist, so you can create a one-of-a-kind tote bag, T-shirt, or tenugui (hand towel) design that combines your kanji name with MADARA's illustration. Enjoy Japanese sweets and matcha tea during the workshop, so there's no need to be nervous. Beginners are also welcome! ● Content: This activity consists of two parts: Part 1 is 50 minutes, with a 10-minute break.
