Create your own Kanji art in Hiroshima and take home a special souvenir from your trip.
This calligraphy experience is completely private, just for you and your group.
You can enjoy the experience at your own pace in a relaxed atmosphere.
The workshop takes place in a calm Japanese-style art studio, about a 15-minute walk from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
Using an authentic Kumano brush from Hiroshima, you will learn the basics of Japanese calligraphy.

Even beginners can enjoy the experience comfortably with step-by-step guidance from the instructor.
The Japanese-style space is relaxing and perfect for photos.
