Must see! - I loved every minute of this! You learn a little about the Japanese writing systems, and how intricate the calligraphic process is. Yuko-sensei is a wealth of knowledge, patience, and experience. Kanji-sama is a great facilitator and translator. We practiced certain strokes, learned how to sign our names, and produced two full pieces that are our very own. And at the end, we got our very own certificates! Definitely worth the experience.

Great experience learning about Japanese calligraphy. Highly recommended! - We had a great time with Yuko-sensei and Kenji-san. We really appreciated the love and enthusiasm for the art of calligraphy that they very kindly shared with us. You can feel it in how they talk about it and how they teach it to the students!

Superbe expérience d'initiation à la calligraphie !! - Calligraphy class Thanks to Yuko-san And Kenji-san we had a really lovely private class !! The activity was fun and very interesting (to learn how to write kanji). As two perfectionnist, we were able to do the exercices until we were happy about the results.

Very nice experience! - We had the calligraphy lesson in the morning. After a short walk from the metro station, we arrived at the classroom. It was very nice to learn calligraphy and the explanation was clear. It was nice to make some products to take home and have a memory of this day. The couple was very friendly and helpful!
