Tokyo: Shared Calligraphy Experience – Create a Fan Together

Enjoy a heartwarming calligraphy workshop at the International Calligraphy Art Institute in Tokyo, designed for couples, families, and friends who wish to create something meaningful together. In this 90-minute small-group experience, a professional calligrapher guides you through the basics, starting with how to hold the brush and practice simple strokes. You will then choose meaningful words or kanji such as love, bond, or dream, learning about their structure, balance, and flow as you prepare to combine your ideas into one shared piece of art.

Working together, you will blend your brushstrokes on a single calligraphy fan to create a collaborative artwork that reflects your connection. The instructor offers gentle guidance and corrections in red ink, helping refine each character while respecting your individual style. After completing the fan, you can take photos with your finished creation and receive a short handwritten note from the teacher explaining the meaning of your chosen kanji. This calm and creative experience offers a romantic and memorable way to connect with Japanese culture while making a shared keepsake in the heart of Tokyo.
