Calligraphy Experience - Mei was a wonderful teacher. She taught me the history of calligraphy at the beginning to provide a helpful background. After, she taught the paint brush skills for calligraphy at a gentle pace without judgement of mistakes or repeated questions. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in doing something culturally in Japan.

Highlight of my Japan Trip - First of all, I was late ( stuck in traffic), and Mei was SO kind and patient and waited for me! She conducted a truncated session for me and it was truly amazing. I think this session was the highlight of my trip to Japan. Mei is so knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. I learned a lot about Japanese calligraphy and had great conversations with Mei. We picked out the phrase I would write together and she helped me practice until I got good at it. I was so happy at the end of my session and I am so grateful I stumbled upon this class. I went home with a momento. Thank you so much Mei!

Japanese Calligraphy Class - What a fantastic class by Mei. She taught us so much about the history and the art of Japanese calligraphy. We had lots of time to practice and even got a scroll with our final piece of artwork on. Highly recommend this class to anyone who would like a truly authentic and incredibly knowledgeable teacher on calligraphy. Thank you so much Mei. Our artwork will be going up in the house when we get home.
