Mindfulness Calligraphy Experience in Kyoto

A unique Japanese cultural experience that goes beyond a traditional calligraphy lesson. Developed and supervised by internationally active Japanese calligrapher Tyjun Nagayama and mental wellness professional and calligrapher Noriko Nagasawa, the program brings together Japanese calligraphy, Zen, Shakyo, and mindfulness. The experience invites you to slow down and connect with the deeper meaning of a Kanji that resonates with you, expressing it through your own brushwork. Engage all five senses through the fragrance of traditional Japanese ink, the sound of birdsong and leaves rustling in the breeze, the feel of the brush, and the taste of Japanese green tea and traditional sweets. Your chosen character is written on a Shikishi board and specially framed for you to take home as a personal keepsake of Kyoto. Limited to 8 participants per session, this peaceful experience offers a meaningful way to discover Japanese culture
