Try Calligraphy at a Beloved Local School in Kanazawa ( Near Ninja Temple )

Just ink, washi, and your hands. But the moment the brush touches the paper— you’ll feel it. A new side of Japan opens up.

Our 100-year-old townhouse offers an authentic calligraphy and meditation experience.

From basic brush strokes to your own final piece,
a local calligraphy master will guide you step by step with care.

This experience is not only about writing — it is also a quiet moment of meditation, allowing you to calm your mind and connect with Japanese culture.


Program Flow – Approx. 60 min

1. Learn Tools & Basic Strokes(15 min)
We’ll introduce the traditional calligraphy tools.
After learning how to hold the brush, you’ll practice basic strokes like straight lines and curves.

2. Pick a Word & Practice(15 min)
Choose a character or word you like.
The master will show you how to write it and gently guide you through practice.

3. Let’s Make Your Final Calligraphy!(20 min)
Now it’s time to create your one and only masterpiece.
Take a deep breath, relax, and write with a Zen spirit — as a form of moving meditation.

4. Done!(10 min)
Stamp your work with your seal to complete it.
Take photos and bring home a special memory of Japan.
