This calligraphy workshop in Tokyo is a hands-on introduction to traditional Japanese writing, held in Shinjuku with a professional instructor.

The experience starts with preparing your own ink using a traditional ink stick, a process that helps you understand the basics of Japanese calligraphy and its slow, focused rhythm. You then practice brush techniques and learn how characters are structured and written.

Once you’re comfortable, your name is translated into kanji and you create your own calligraphy piece. The instructor guides you step by step to ensure the result feels personal and accurate.

As an option, you can print your design onto a t-shirt, turning your calligraphy into a unique souvenir you can take home.

The workshop is beginner-friendly, with small groups and clear explanations in English. It’s a simple way to connect with Japanese culture while creating something personal during your time in Tokyo.
Price : 26 € per guest
