Amazing experience with Stephen and Nao Sensei - It was a really nice experience, these 2 hours workshop went too fast. Stephen speaks a perfect English and introduced us with some cultural explanation about Shodō, Japanese calligraphy. Then, Nao Sensei, our teacher, showed us different kanji and how to reproduce them. Patiently guiding our hands to understand the gesture. I had a v ery pleasant time, I highly recommend it.

Passage must for this workshop in Osaka! - Great introduction to Japanese calligraphy! Little explanation on the meaning of this practice at the beginning, then put into practice gradually with the valuable help of the animators and sensei of the lesson! Very good atmosphere, thank you for everything 💕

Highlight of my Japan trip! - Fantastic experience! I felt welcome and special from the moment I walked in the door. Stephen is a very kind, gifted communicator and offered an excellent introduction to Japanese language and culture, the essence of calligraphy, and the importance of mindfulness in what one does. Nao is a very talented and absolutely delightful instructor who patiently and attentively guided me from the first brush stoke, always encouraging me to keep trying. I never imagined I would leave the workshop with such an amazing souvenir and the start of my newly found passion for calligraphy. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in the art and technique of doing something the right way, in learning and practicing the basic techniques of Japanese calligraphy, and ultimately taking a step to better understanding and experiencing fascinating, mindful Japanese culture first hand. Thank you Stephen and Nao for such an incredible experience that will extend long beyond the workshop.

A great intro into calligraphy! - A really good introduction and workshop in Japanese calligraphy. The teachers gave interesting history, and useful tips for absolute beginners. We worked through various exercises before finishing with drawing our names. Great experience to focus the mind on for 2 hours!

Brilliant calligraphy workshop for all the family - Shaun and Sensai delivered a perfect workshop for our family. Time flew by- we couldn’t believe how fast 2 hours disappeared.. They gave us a lovely introduction to the meaning of calligraphy to Japanese culture before we got hands on with writing kanji and preparing our names on a board to take home!

Excellent fun and creatively ! - Fantastic experience, very good tutor and very welcoming. First time doing calligraphy but gentle intro and building over the two hours. Not going to be expert in that time but definitely improved and learnt a lot. Came away with a great souvenir created by ourselves.

A great Japanese calligraphy experience - My 10 year old daughter and I had a great time at this workshop. We learned a lot about Japanese calligraphy and got to practice different techniques before writing our names in Kanji to take home as a souvenir. The instructors were lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Great way to experience elements of Japanese culture - This was a great workshop experience, it was really interesting to learn about the meaning behind Japanese calligraphy as well as the techniques and then being able to try some writing. It was very friendly and relaxing, and a lovely way to end my trip to Japan. I really appreciated Stephen's help and advice to make sure I could attend and would be able to catch the aiprort train. Would definitely recommend if you would like to know more about Japanese culture and a chance to be hands on trying it out.

Must have experience in Osaka - We had a wonderful time during the class, it was a key memory from our honeymoon from Japan. Beside learning how to write our names, we learned some basic knowledge about the Japanese language and calligraphy. Stephen was a great tutor and we loved meeting with him! We wanted to give an extra souvenir to our nephew, they helped to prepare the gift as well. Thank you for everything! Must have experience in Osaka. 🇯🇵⛩️
