Japanese art of calligraphy, Kanji Experience Class in Kawagoe
Japanese, which uses three types of characters to write sentences, is a rare language. Kanji are unique characters that developed from pictographs. Once you know the basics, writing them isn't difficult. In this class, I, a Japanese calligraphy master, will introduce how to use calligraphy tools and have guests write characters of their choice. Writing the guest's name (in the Roman alphabet) converted into Kanji will be a fun experience!
