Superb learning experience from Japan's top Master Calligrapher - Yuko Sensei is a fantastic teacher and the class is a wonderful cultural learning experience. Kenji San was a kind and funny assistant. We loved every minute of this class. Don't miss learning about the ancient art form Calligraphy from a master teacher.

Calligraphy lesson in Tokyo - Kenji-san and Yuko-sensei were passionate about this art form and rightly so. They were friendly, patient (needed to be for me!) and easy to get on with. The lesson was informative and went by too quickly. Photos were taken and these were shared with me so I can remember the day. Really enjoyed the experience. Would recommended.

Curious about Japanese Calligraphy? Don’t be and take this class!!! - This was me and my niece’s 1st scheduled experience while visiting Tokyo, and it set the bar very high for any other experiences to follow. The Sato’s were so kind and generous and genuinely, sincerely the nicest people we’ve ever met. Yuko-sensei’s passion for Japanese calligraphy is obvious - she is a thorough but patient teacher. And Kenji-San was so welcoming…truly, his kindness really made this an unforgettable experience. If you have ever been curious about Japanese calligraphy, and thought it might be too intimidating for you, trust me when I tell you that this is the calligraphy class you MUST take. Even after the class, Kenji-San reached out to see if we needed any recommendations and to send us the photos he and Yuko-sensei took during the class. We love the Sato’s!!!

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.
