Overview

Create your own Kanji art and take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir from Hiroshima. This is a fully private calligraphy experience, reserved just for you and your group, so you can enjoy the experience at your own pace. The workshop takes place in a calm Japanese-style art studio, about a 15-minute walk from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Using a high-quality calligraphy brush made in Hiroshima, you will learn the basics of shodō (Japanese calligraphy). Next, we will translate your name or a meaningful word into Kanji together, explaining the meanings and choosing characters that suit you. In the final stage, you will turn your calligraphy into an original item such as a T-shirt, fan, or accessory. You will leave with a unique piece of Japanese calligraphy to remember your time in Hiroshima.
