1st Fun is learning about Japanese calligraphy.
You will learn about Kanji history and Japanese calligraphy tools. We practice how to make black ink, how to use a brush, how to write basic lines.
Then, practice the kanji you chose. You can choose specific kanji you want to write, or just tell me the images you want to write in English, or you can find it from our Kanji List.
We tell you the tips for writing the kanji.
2nd Fun is making your own t-shirt.
First, we make a silkscreen to print the ink to a t-shirt.
Next, choose the color of t-shirt and the color of ink.
Then, print the ink to the t-shirt through the silkscreen.
Finally, press the t-shirt with heat by a machine so that the ink will not disappear.
3rd Fun is wearing your own Kanji t-shirt.
Please wear your own t-shirt with the Kanji you actually wrote.

We had a really fun night with Koichi
We learned about Kanji and Japanese language and we learned how to properly write our chosen Kanji.
Koichi was a really good teacher and helped us to choose the Kanji we wanted to have on our T-shirt.
When we finished writing we made the tshirt.
The experience is great and the price is really good.
Next time in Kyoto we will do it again!

The guide Mr. Koichi is a friendly and knowldgeable guy.
The best experience in Caligraphy that you can ask for !
