Shodo in Osaka - The shodo class was great! They made calligraphy less intimidating. Loved learning what the characters meant and not just writing them. They were very encouraging! By they end I even impressed my self a little. The one suggestion I’d make is they need a sign next to the nail salon’s sign with an arrow pointing down the hall.

Wonderful Experience! - My husband and I went to Osaka for the day with our Rental Car. Stephen helped us find parking then walked us to the class. Nao and Stephen were a tag team and they were amazing! Stephen helped translate and taught us a little about the history and importance of Shodo, Japanese word for Calligraphy. Nao taught us the correct way to write the words, guiding our hands when we got stuck on how to create the right movement. We truly had a wonderful time taking this class and interacting with Stephen and Nao. I would definitely recommend!!

A great activity to see a lesser experienced side of Japanese culture - Had a great experience learning not only to actually practice calligraphy, but also what it is about and Japanese culture in itself. I was even lucky to be the only person to book on that day, and they were kind enough to still do the clas just for me! So I had two teachers just for me! Loved it and will keep practicing Shodō! Thanks for the awesome experience!
