Amazing experience

Published on Mar, 2024

She carefully taught me calligraphy in English. Experience calligraphy, a Japanese culture, in a comfortable space.

Enlightening immersive experience not to be missed!

The Japanese calligraphy lesson with Master Shoran is truly a unique and immersive Japanese experience. I participated in the class with my two school-age children and we learned so much but also greatly appreciated the gracious hospitality that Master Shoran extended to us. She was so patient with my children, but also provided excellent instruction for me to get a deeper understanding of shodo. I have already recommended this experience to friends and family.
