About this activity

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 experience.

From basic brush strokes to your own final piece,

a local calligraphy master will guide you step by step with care.

Please note:

On Thursdays and Saturdays after 3:00 PM,

our local calligraphy class is in session, so you may occasionally see Japanese children nearby.

This experience uses materials that contain animal-derived components.
