Our party of seven spent a delightful afternoon at the Shodo Cafe! The guys were leery at first, but had a great time-- one of them was an absolute natural. The room was organized; the music was fun; and the snacks and drinks were easy/did not impede the calligraphy. The team was extremely patient, literally working hand-on with each of us, constantly replenishing the ink pots and paper. They researched our names in advance, presenting us with individualized meanings and kanji. In addition to your name, a lot of other options were provided to choose from, ensuring that everyone went home with at least one piece to be proud of. We have already hung up our scrolls, and I am looking forward to using my stamp. It was a memorable experience, unlike anything you have probably done before or will have an opportunity to do again. I highly recommend!
