Shodo — the way of writing — is one of Japan's most revered classical arts, combining technical brush mastery with meditative focus. In this 90-minute workshop in Tokyo's Asakusa district, a certified shodo master will teach you the fundamental brush strokes of kaisho (block script) before guiding you through writing your own name in kanji. You will practise on newspaper-weight practice paper before committing your best work to premium washi paper with a personalised red hanko seal stamped by the instructor. The result is a beautiful, frameable artwork that captures your unique brushwork.
