*Due to the relocation of our store, we are no longer accepting reservations. Express the words you want to write and the feelings you want to convey with an original art calligraphy that is one of a kind in the world. You can create kanji art for various occasions, such as your favorite words, your child's naming book, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding celebrations, and other messages. In this experience, instead of learning the stroke order and strokes, you will relax, enrich your imagination, and stimulate your brain to create your own unique "kanji" art work. First, think of the kanji you want to write and the scenery (picture) that inspires you. If you can't decide on an idea, creative calligrapher Koji Takano will support you. Once you have decided on an idea, use ink and paint to practice color flow and composition. Finally, write it down on a colored paper or fan for the actual performance, and your own art book will be completed. In addition, you will receive your own original art book by creative calligrapher Koji Takano! Why not enjoy traveling with us through the infinite and free world of art calligraphy?
